Advice to a young scientist by Peter Medawar (Basic Books). The titan of 20th century molecular medicine gives well-meaning and funny (in the British sense) advice on (from the chapter headings): How do I tell if I am cut out to be a scientific research worker? - What shall I do research on? - How can I equip myself to be a scientist or a better one? - Women in science - Aspects of scientific life and manners - Of younger and older scientists - Presentations - Experiment and discovery - Prizes and rewards - The scientific process. Some details of the 25-year old book feel out of date now but it still is an excellent companion up to your first faculty position. See the following quote: "A novice must stick it out until he discovers whether the rewards and compensations of the scientific life are for him comensurate with the disappointments and the toil; but if once a scientist experiences the exhilaration of discovery [...] then he is hooked, and no other kind of life will do."

如果有可能對知識或理解的程度進行定量,並以時間為橫坐標將其繪製成圖,那麼時間—知識麯綫與基綫的距離不會很大;因為在任何時刻,上述兩綫之間的總麵積都真實地反映著科學的狀況。 ——P. B. Medawar(1915-1987) 在一次與吳文...
評分首先非常感謝陽誌平老師精心挑選幾本指導科研的書給我,同時我最尊重的科學傢之一蒲慕明老師也強烈推薦這本書。科學的神秘性和科研的艱苦性往往讓眾人感覺冷艷高貴、高不可攀,其實科學的奧妙無窮,普遍存在和精煉之美處處體現在日常生活中。作者是諾貝爾醫學/生理學奬得主Pete...

圖書標籤: 科研 科學 個人發展 學術 科學人文 Science scientist 科普
很後悔現在纔看. 推薦給每一個秉承著探索精神, 追求 Art of the Soluble 的人. 裏麵不乏各種科學生涯的吐槽, 作者真的好可愛.
評分科研科研科研!
評分Never dismayed or depressed by the subtlety of nature, the secret recesses of truth, the obscurity of things, the difficulty of experiment, the implication of causes and the infirmity of man's discerning power, being men no longer excited, either out of desire or hope to penetrate farther.
評分讀PhD前一周第一次讀 紀念一下 明年再讀一次會不會理解更多
評分“Any scientist of any age who wants to make important discoveries must study important problems. Dull or piffling problems yield dull or piffling answers. It is not enough that a problem should be 'interesting', almost any problem is interesting if it is studied in sufficient depth.” 現實中大部分人還是在做dirty, shallow work啊。
