Academania: My Life in the Trenches of Biomedical Research

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a scientist? In “Academania” you will be transported to the world of academic research, where ivory towers are made of stone, filled with the hopes and aspirations, jealousies and weaknesses of the very real people who work there. You will experience this unique world through the eyes of the author, Dr. Gail Seigel, a scientist who has devoted her 25-year career to medical research. Follow her real-life journey through science, ignited by the flames of a burning chemistry notebook and illuminated by a bright and unflinching resilience in the face of desperate challenges that could never darken her path. This book is written in non-technical terms for both scientists and non-scientists alike.
