Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-09 00:00:00 Paul Miller This was recommended to me by a coworker with an unquestionable love for biology and lifelong learning. I regret to say it has taken me roughly 4 years since then to begin reading, as it contains more than a few bluntly stated words of advice for students that would have served me well in graduate school. Beyond the unifying question of what a biologist is and what it means to call oneself such, this book brings together tactful usage of relevant jargon, anecdotes from individuals at various points in their careers, and Janovy's own thoughts on major topics that define the profession such as what students should gain from education, the significance of amature endeavours, sources of funding, types of employment, and the inherent responsibilities of those who choose to acquire the knowledge and skill sets of a biologist. I would recommend this book to any would be biology student or self-proclaimed biologist reflecting on their own career, and hope my copy finds its way to someone else who needs a bit of inspiration in their own life choices.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-09 00:00:00 Milton Perez Amazing, insightful, and helpful look at the path ahead if you are interested in biology. A refreshing bit of hope when so much of the time there is only pessimism.
