Malcolm Gladwell: 本集讲述了"模糊病毒俱乐部"的故事,他们是一群被忽视的科学家,他们的研究成果对人类医学做出了巨大贡献。他们坚持自己的信念,挑战了科学界的权威,最终取得了重大的科学突破。他们的故事体现了科学研究中坚持真理的重要性。 David Baltimore: Howard Temin 的研究挑战了当时的中心法则,他坚持认为存在一种病毒可以逆向从 RNA 转录到 DNA。这一观点当时不被接受,但他坚持不懈,最终与 David Baltimore 共同发现了逆转录酶,并为这类病毒命名为逆转录病毒。 Rayla Temin: Howard Temin 是一位才华横溢的科学家,他不仅在科学研究上取得了巨大的成就,而且在生活中也充满爱心和责任感。他坚持自己的信念,即使面临巨大的压力和挑战,也从未放弃。 Miriam Temin: Howard Temin 的成功源于他对自身观点的坚定信念和坚持不懈的精神。他是一个具有强烈道德感和自信的人,他从不害怕表达自己的想法。 Michael Temin: Howard Temin 的坚持源于他对自身观点的坚定信念。 Sandy Weller: Howard Temin 的观点不被接受,他及其学生受到了排斥,经历了一段艰难的时期。

Chapters
Howard Temin, along with Ludwig Gross and Robert Gallo, formed the Obscure Virus Club, dedicated to understanding obscure viruses. Temin's focus on the Rous sarcoma virus led him to question the central dogma of genetics, suggesting that viruses could work backwards from RNA to DNA.

Shownotes Transcript

Throughout the 1960s, a biologist named Howard Temin became convinced that something wasn’t right in science’s understanding of viruses. His colleagues dismissed him as a heretic. He turned out to be right — and you're alive today as a result.  Season Four ends with a bedtime story about how we should be freed by our doubts, not imprisoned by them.
