Reviews

For those who do not inhabit the 'ivory tower' the life of a Professor can be mysterious and obscure. Professor Helliwell provides a refreshingly personal first-hand account that opens the door on the life of a very successful academic scientist. The book is written as a 'how to' manual that young and mid-career scientists will find highly instructive, but it also provides insights that will be helpful to those who wish to better understand how science works. Professor Helliwell's expertise is in structural biology (he warmly traces his scientific lineage to Nobel Laureate Dorothy Hodgkin), and although the book draws on that field for anecdotes it is accessible and helpful to all fields. Highly recommended. - Titus Boggon, Ph.D. Associate Professor with Tenure, Departments of Pharmacology and of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University, USA. All the thirty-four chapters and eleven appendices are headed How to ... . Drawing upon his own extensive and wide-ranging experience, Helliwell gives sound advice on almost everything that a scientist does or needs for teaching, research or management. There is even an introductory chapter on whether one is suited to be a scientist! A very useful handbook - It will find its way on to every scientist's desk. - Moreton Moore, D.Sc., Emeritus Professor of Physics and Honorary Fellow, Royal Holloway University of London as well as Founding Editor of Crystallography Reviews.
