DESCRIPTION:Dr. Thomas Cech\, Howard Hughes Medical Institute\, University
  of Colorado at Boulder\nBio: Thomas Robert Cech is an American chemist wh
 o shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Sidney Altman\, for their 
 discovery of the catalytic properties of RNA. Cech discovered that RNA cou
 ld itself cut strands of RNA\, which showed that life could have started a
 s RNA. He also studied telomeres\, and his lab discovered an enzyme\, TERT
  (telomerase reverse transcriptase)\, which is part of the process of rest
 oring telomeres after they are shortened during cell division. As presiden
 t of Howard Hughes Medical Institute\, he promoted science education\, and
  he teaches an undergraduate chemistry course at the University of Colorad
