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.

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,...

评分读完这本书最大的感想是庆幸自己没遇到过Jahren这种导师。为什么这么说呢,例举几段情节你就明白了: Jahren和助手Bill带几个学生去野外采样。采样长途跋涉,历时几天,晚上宿营在野外,大家轮流准备晚饭。一个本科生,在她实验室工作很久了,很努力,或者用她的话说是“极力想...
评分一本带有作者自传色彩的自传,不知道是不是与译者有关系,整篇语言相对平实,或许受限于兴趣方向, 很少给我以读书时的沉浸感,说是一部自传,又掺杂着作者专业方面的科普散文,有些啃不动的感觉,当然这本书的受众肯定不是普罗大众,希望喜欢的读者可以奉为瑰宝吧。 我只是一...

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.
a wonderful book about science, friendship, and life. Beautifully written.
评分I wonder what Bill thinks of her.
评分Hope is what I call "The Sociopath", advisors who don't advise but instead manipulate, w/ no respect for students as humans. She proudly described how every new recruit was tasked with labeling hundreds of vials and she would dump the vials into the garbage to gauge their reaction, as a test. I'm pretty sure that's called "hazing", not "advising".
评分讲故事呢。。就看不下去了
