Jeff's View on Science and Scientists

Viac o knihe

Jeff's views provide witty, insightful, and thought-provoking looks into the life of a modern scientist. From starting off, to letting go, Gottfried ("Jeff") Schatz leads us through the trials and triumphs of scientific life. With his tongue firmly in his cheek, and his humor always intact, the Austrian essayist leads us through the confusing and seemingly insurmountable hill that is the career path of European scientists. In addition to giving useful insights into how to get funding, give seminars, and still find time to make that leading edge scientific discovery, Jeff explores the philosophical dimensions of recent biological breakthroughs such as the sequencing of the human genome, the evolution of sensory receptors, and cellular suicide.
