I got it from the university library. I’m still reading through it but expect to finish today.



It says that true scientists don’t work 9 to 5. Well, I may not right now, but there are plenty that do work 9 to 5 and make a decent living at it. The book seems to suggest that if you aren’t a research scientist you aren’t a true scientist. That is not true by any stretch of the imagination. I would certainly hope that if I don’t end up finishing up my PhD that I would still be taken seriously as a scientist!



It’s just suggestions on the world of academia. It’s not for non-research scientist.
