Some Thoughts on “Lab Girl” And Science Stories

A few thoughts to keep in mind, perhaps, as you read and reflect on a wonderful book about the lives of plants and scientists.

After our conversation, I've been thinking a lot about different people's paths through science, in the context of @HopeJahren's Lab Girl.

This reminds me of "The Danger of A Single Story" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. https://t.co/dAoGmOeB05

If there's one thing I really hope Lab Girl provokes, it's more people of all kinds telling their stories in science, like Hope has done

Eventually, perhaps we'll manage to figure out which parts are necessary for making good scientists, which parts are justifiable hardships
