Hope Jahren was born and grew up in small-town southeastern Minnesota, just a few miles north of the Iowa border. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley in 1996, and then took an Assistant Professor position at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In 1999 she was hired by Johns Hopkins University and went on to become the first woman ever to be promoted with tenure within their Earth and Planetary Sciences Department (est. 1876). In 2008 she was hired to build the Isotope Geobiology Laboratories at the University of Hawaii. She is one of four scientists, and the only woman, to have been awarded both of the Young Investigator Medals given within the Earth Sciences. She has been the recipient of three Fulbright Awards and in 2005, Popular Science named her one of the "Brilliant 10" young scientists in the United States. She currently resides in Oslo, Norway with her husband, their son, and their Chesapeake Bay Retriever dog.

评分植物之歌 很难定义《实验室女孩》属于哪类作品:其中有不亚于小说般刺激的冒险桥段,也有治愈人心的科普散文,还有一位科学家成长的自白,植物与人生的和谐共鸣编就了这样一部独特的生命之歌。 在近百年的中外艺术史中,植物的生长兴衰一直都是艺术家们乐此不疲表现的对象。在...
评分首先感谢贵浪编辑部的赠书。截至此时,关于《实验室女孩》的两篇热评为师之德(2星,23有用),和无条件的爱(4星,21有用)对这本书都给出了负面和中性的评价。诚恳的说,某些书评对原文进行了扭曲的引用,这不太好,首先有剧透,而我个人一直希望一篇书评不应该影响读者的阅...
评分其实这不算书评,更多的,不过是想讲听书时,那些不断回闪的记忆,和作者无关。 但因为比350字的短评限制长,只好写成书评。 这是一本自传,也是写给作者所钟爱的事业的情歌。书里她和科研同伴Bill的友情非常感人,但让我感触最深的,却是她所描述的科研里修行一般的日常工作,...

An illuminating debut memoir of a woman in science; a moving portrait of a longtime friendship; and a stunningly fresh look at plants that will forever change how you see the natural world
Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she’s studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Her first book is a revelatory treatise on plant life—but it is also so much more.
Lab Girl is a book about work, love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren’s remarkable stories: about her childhood in rural Minnesota with an uncompromising mother and a father who encouraged hours of play in his classroom’s labs; about how she found a sanctuary in science, and learned to perform lab work done “with both the heart and the hands”; and about the inevitable disappointments, but also the triumphs and exhilarating discoveries, of scientific work.
Yet at the core of this book is the story of a relationship Jahren forged with a brilliant, wounded man named Bill, who becomes her lab partner and best friend. Their sometimes rogue adventures in science take them from the Midwest across the United States and back again, over the Atlantic to the ever-light skies of the North Pole and to tropical Hawaii, where she and her lab currently make their home.
Jahren’s probing look at plants, her astonishing tenacity of spirit, and her acute insights on nature enliven every page of this extraordinary book. Lab Girl opens your eyes to the beautiful, sophisticated mechanisms within every leaf, blade of grass, and flower petal. Here is an eloquent demonstration of what can happen when you find the stamina, passion, and sense of sacrifice needed to make a life out of what you truly love, as you discover along the way the person you were meant to be.

评分女科学家自传
评分作者笔下的科学的魅力非常优美,但写自己经历就让人觉得这是个非常不好相处的人。作为前科学工作者,我觉得科学家最不需要树立的就是刻板印象,尤其是在这个科研投入捉襟见肘、普通民众对科学充满偏见的时候。为了科学的健康发展,科学家也理所应当该拿应得报酬,有正常生活,鼓励和教导有志科研的年轻人展开他们自己的工作,而非嘲笑他们没经验不卖命,把门下及合作者的研究生当成teammates而非低等劳工,对和自己生活状态和志向不一样的人去理解而非鄙视。作者这种人不是我导师,上辈子真是烧了高香。
评分The book is okay, but the story as a memoir tells a bad human being. obviously Jahren worked very hard and has been quite successful though she never stopped complaining about that she was not treated fairly. she is selfish and arrogant based on her attitude to her students and, even worse, to Bill. She lies as well.
