The Science Philanthropy Alliance is a community of funders who work together to inspire new, emerging and current philanthropists to dedicate a portion of their philanthropy to basic science. Alliance members act both as champions and advisors to other philanthropists to ensure more private funding is earmarked for the kinds of research initiatives that have led to the scientific, technological and medical breakthroughs that fuel our technology and information-driven economy of the 21st century.

The Alliance Summer Reading Series features our External Science Advisor and winner of The Nobel Prize, Thomas Cech, whose newly published book, The Catalyst: RNA and the Quest to Unlock Life's Deepest Secrets, is now available. https://a.co/d/1nzoLkm According to Cech, “#RNA was once considered the “biochemical backup singer” to the diva DNA. But this molecule, a largely single-stranded cousin of DNA, seems to be pretty wondrous all on its own.” Cech, a biochemist at the University of Colorado Boulder, offers readers a compelling look at this mysterious molecule with an untapped potential to cure diseases. Its role in protecting us from COVID-19 may be just the beginning!
