So You Want To Be A Scientist
Philip A. Schwartzkroin
So You Want To Be A Scientist Schwartzkroin Philip A. - 1st ed., - New York Oxford University Press 2009 - 208 p 9.21 x 6.24 x 0.61 inches
What does it take to be a scientist? Equally important, what does it take to be happy as a scientist? Drawing on thirty years of experience, Philip Schwartzkroin offers the budding scientist an invaluable glimpse into the day-to-day life of the researcher, filling a huge hole in the education of most would-be scientists--whether undergraduates or high school seniors.
As Schwartzkroin points out, many of the most important things researchers learn as they hone their craft are not written down anywhere. And many of these insights come as a surprise to the naïve and well-meaning student who somehow believes that "doing research" is an occupation that is substantially different from doing a job in "the real world." This book looks at the "job" of science.
