Matthew Cobb

And there's a new book about Francis Crick full of fresh information and the disposal of false tales.

The story is so vibrant that after the West End play about him, that's Photograph 51 starring Nicole Kidman, author Matthew Cobb tells us there's now a Hollywood film in production and even an opera.

Professor Cobb is with us online from the University of Manchester.

Matthew, the book is tremendous.

Thanks a lot, Robyn.

It's been great talking to you.

Matthew Cobb.

His book, Crick: A Mind in Motion, is published in Australia by Allen & Unwin.

It certainly is, and we've got the interview with the author.

Matthew Cobb, I think.

Matthew, yes.

That, that's right, from Manchester coming up on the Science Show fairly shortly, beginning of October.
