ADVICE TO A YOUNG SCIENTIST (Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Series)

This is a classic that every scientist in India should read, especially new comers to the sacred vocation of academic scientist. I had read it in my institution's library soon after the first edition was published, but I had retired 19 years ago. I value the book so highly that I paid for it from my own pocket.

Years of insight. Sometimes doesn't follow his own advice during writing, and the bit about he/she/they is out-of-date (see OED), but much of the advice is timeless or current. I don't find it UK specific but not sure how it will hold up outside of Europe. This is my favourite of the several similar texts I've recently read for classes.

I really loved this book as being a scientist myself, there are still many things that we need to learn in terms of position, work ethics etc.

This is an interesting, short book of advice from one of the top biologists of the 20th century to young scientists. Advice such as, don't bother building your own equipment, buy it from suppliers dates it to a simpler time. Much of the advice still holds though.

An interesting read but the advice is a little bit out-dated.

Great quality!
