I learned that scientific accuracy shouldn’t get in the way of telling a good story at the Catalyst Workshop at the American Film Institute, where every summer a dozen scientists learn screenwriting from the pros. But this time, the plot is a stretch, and he gets an F in genetics. The talk is next week, and I had great fun marking up the book.ĭan Brown gets an A, as usual, for writing style. So when my local library asked me to give a talk about a book with genetics in the plot, I chose Inferno. When Dan Brown’s latest novel, Inferno, was published last summer, several people insisted I read it – because it’s about an insane geneticist. The mad scientist is a dangerous stereotype - an evil geneticist perhaps the worst.
