I think it’s pretty impressive that such an old book talks about scientific questions that are still interesting today. And it was so well written too.

I should line up some long reads for my break too. I’ll be excited to hear what you think about it, especially since I have high hopes you’ll like it as much as I did

One of the brilliant things about reading a good science book is that you’re both doing something enjoyable and doing something work-related enough that it’s ok to do it in the lab

I’m waiting for winter break to read some of my longer books and it’s on the list.

I work in a lab, but I’ve never realized that books like The Lives of a Cell and Microcosm existed. (An excuse to read something other than journal articles during those long incubation times? Score!) Thanks for sharing!

I was so impressed with the writing, I thought it was really beautiful and it makes me happy to hear that it was used in a class as an example of good writing
