| Publisher Description: Fun, fast-paced, and supercharged with technology, Chick Flick tells of a woman on a mission to change the world. It addresses a growing need for stories that feature brainy heroines who win the day with their smarts rather than looks or charm. Not just entertaining, it will inspire readers to see what is typically perceived as the dry, boring field of biology as a world of exciting possibilities. |
Contributor Bio(s): Porat, Noga: - Noga Porat finished an M.Sc. in the Biochemistry Dept from Tel Aviv University, Israel in 2001, a B.Sc. in 1998 and a B.A. in Philosophy in 1996. She then volunteered in the Veterinary Institute, Israel where she was first exposed to the practices of the Egg Laying Industry ('The Layers'). Two Billion male chicks are disposed of and this happens worldwide, yearly. This led Noga to eventually open her own company in 2004, NiKagen Biotech Ltd. The company goal was to develop a method to determine the sex of the chick while still in the egg; in ovo chick sexing. She is still working on developing the prototype and wrote Chick Flick to ignite a public discussion on this issue. |
