-- Bridging Science and Storytelling
After decades as Chief Scientist at renowned institutions like Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Christer Jansson has turned his focus to fiction. His debut novel, Genes of the Past, combines his deep scientific knowledge with a narrative that challenges readers to confront the implications of scientific progress.
“Science allows us to uncover truths about our world, but fiction provides a way to engage with the consequences of those truths,” said Jansson. “With Genes of the Past, I wanted to create a story that sparks curiosity and reflection about where science can take us.”
The novel explores the potential and peril of genetics research, weaving a gripping tale that merges cutting-edge science with questions of morality, identity, and human connection.
A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Genetic Discovery
Genes of the Past invites readers into a world where breakthroughs in genetics unveil profound truths about humanity’s origins. The story delves into ethical quandaries as characters grapple with how scientific innovation can redefine society.
Jansson’s ability to present complex scientific concepts in an engaging and accessible manner reflects his expertise as a former researcher and his skill as a storyteller. Having authored numerous successful grant proposals and peer-reviewed articles, Jansson transitions seamlessly into fiction, crafting a narrative that appeals to both science enthusiasts and general readers alike.
A Scientist’s Journey to Fiction
Christer Jansson’s career in science spanned decades, during which he led advancements in genomics and molecular research. Retirement offered an opportunity to pursue his lifelong passion for creative writing, and Genes of the Past marks the culmination of that transition.
