Con el presente libro se recuerda al doctor Severo Ochoa de Albornoz a través de diversas colaboraciones y testimonios biográficos y científicos sobre este asturiano universal. Asimismo, se evoca en clave artistica la iconografia mas convencional del mundo de la Ciencia, como las formas geometricas, al tiempo que se recrea el ambiente de los laboratorios, verdaderos talleres de experimentacion.

En suma, recordamos a Severo Ochoa como gran cientifico, gran maestro de la Biologia Molecular y gran asturia...
