Written by an American academic scientist, for American academic scientists in the making.
The good:
- concise and easy to read, cuts to the chase in 151 pages
The bad:
-tailored to the American academic/biotech world
- questionable pro-academic stance
In some examples states that academia gives more job security than biotech. That's simply false and misleading
-Too optimistic. The author jumps from a PhD to a professor, forgetting to mention that just 2% of STEMs will ever reach professorship.
Not worth more than 3 stars. I wouldn't recommend it in fact, because it really is too optimistic in many things, but being such a short book different people (non scientists) might better understand what scientists do with a lot of optimism
