Host Kenneth Cukier explores the science honoured in this yearโ€™s Nobel prizes. Our correspondents assess the life-saving impact of the identification of hepatitis C, speak to one of this yearโ€™s winners for physics, Andrea Ghez, about her work unveiling the mysteries of the cosmos, and hear from Jennifer Doudna, co-developer of CRISPR-Cas9, on the potential of genome editing.
