FOREWORD
By Herbert Boyer, Ph.D. (Co-Founder Genentech,
Inc.)
“I somehow managed to muddle my way through college and graduate school,
and I have no regrets about the outcome of my science education and careers;
however, this book would have provided me with very helpful insights into the
academic process. It would have challenged me to maintain balance while I navigated
this path and, equally important, it would have provided me with comfort in knowing
that the trials, tribulations, and self-doubt that I experienced during my education
and career were not confined to me alone…”

“This book is truly superb—a collection of refreshingly honest, open and wise perspectives that everyone contemplating (and even in the midst of) a career in medicine and science should read. It is impossible to understand fully what one’s won path will be ahead of time, but this is the kind of guide, I would read before embarking on the adventure.
