This book is an original and resonating review of inheritance, its historical context, social implications, the development of genetics, and recent scientific advancement in epigenetics. As a scientist in the field, I enjoy the broad topics discussed in the book, ranging from Gregor Mendel's research on heredity to Jennifer Doudna's breakthrough in CRISPR. She Has Her Mother's Laugh is an excellent source for those looking to learn more about genetics and its applications.
