Description
This witty, warts-and-all account of Bodewits¿ years as a PhD student in the august University of Edinburgh is full of success and failure, passion and pathos, insight, farce and warm-hearted disillusionment. She describes a world of collaboration and backstabbing; nefarious financing and wasted genius; cosmopolitan dreamers and discoveries that might just change the world... Is this a smart people's world or a drip can of weird species? Modern academia is certainly darker and stranger than one might suspect...
This book will put a wry, knowing smile on the faces of former researchers. And it is a cautionary parable for innocents who stillbelieve that lofty academia is erected upon moral high ground...
