Lab Girl

I was thrown by the beginning, as she basically glosses over graduate school and job-hunting, which are no cake-walk, but I eventually appreciated that she wanted to give deeper attention to a certain period of her career. I know a lot of scientists in their PhD/post-doc/job application period, and it made me think “this book is disconnected from reality” when it started off breezing through all that like it was nothing. Unfortunately that was sort of my strongest feeling about it. Except that I really liked Bill.
