An illuminating debut memoir of a woman in science; a moving portrait of a longtime friendship; and a stunningly fresh look at plants that will forever change how you see the natural world
Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she’s studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Her first book is a revelatory treatise on plant life—but it is also so much more.
Lab Girl is a book about work, love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren’s remarkable stories: about her childhood in rural Minnesota with an uncompromising mother and a father who encouraged hours of play in his classroom’s labs; about how she found a sanctuary in science, and learned to perform lab work done “with both the heart and the hands”; and about the inevitable disappointments, but also the triumphs and exhilarating discoveries, of scientific work.
Yet at the core of this book is the story of a relationship Jahren forged with a brilliant, wounded man named Bill, who becomes her lab partner and best friend. Their sometimes rogue adventures in science take them from the Midwest across the United States and back again, over the Atlantic to the ever-light skies of the North Pole and to tropical Hawaii, where she and her lab currently make their home.
Jahren’s probing look at plants, her astonishing tenacity of spirit, and her acute insights on nature enliven every page of this extraordinary book. Lab Girl opens your eyes to the beautiful, sophisticated mechanisms within every leaf, blade of grass, and flower petal. Here is an eloquent demonstration of what can happen when you find the stamina, passion, and sense of sacrifice needed to make a life out of what you truly love, as you discover along the way the person you were meant to be.
Hope Jahren was born and grew up in small-town southeastern Minnesota, just a few miles north of the Iowa border. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley in 1996, and then took an Assistant Professor position at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In 1999 she was hired by Johns Hopkins University and went on to become the first woman ever to be promoted with tenure within their Earth and Planetary Sciences Department (est. 1876). In 2008 she was hired to build the Isotope Geobiology Laboratories at the University of Hawaii. She is one of four scientists, and the only woman, to have been awarded both of the Young Investigator Medals given within the Earth Sciences. She has been the recipient of three Fulbright Awards and in 2005, Popular Science named her one of the "Brilliant 10" young scientists in the United States. She currently resides in Oslo, Norway with her husband, their son, and their Chesapeake Bay Retriever dog.

评分The book is okay, but the story as a memoir tells a bad human being. obviously Jahren worked very hard and has been quite successful though she never stopped complaining about that she was not treated fairly. she is selfish and arrogant based on her attitude to her students and, even worse, to Bill. She lies as well.
评分把全部激情投入所愛的事業, 是一種什麼體驗? 1. 百分之一的森林(法國)/10年 2. 科學->職業vs身份; 實驗室->辦公室vs團隊閤作/精神樂園/重新成為孩子 3. 植物: 食物/藥物/木材 4. 世上的每一個生物都遠比我們想象的復雜
评分本來是為瞭看八卦去看的,然則真正好看的是非作者個人生活的科普散文部分,文筆極佳,悠遠遼闊而悲憫。個人生活部分主要有缺錢、執念和人際(主要是Bill)關係三個主題,每個主題寫的都讓人非常難受,和科普散文部分判若兩人……
评分這幾天用做飯開車的時間聽完瞭。一個非常偏執執著的科學傢寫的memior。字裏行間都能透露齣對科學的熱愛。她寫植物的口吻很擬人很溫柔,好像在和植物對話一樣。有一段寫窮得叮當響的時候開車去加州開conference,結果路上遇到冰翻車瞭。把學生可坑慘瞭。帶學生乾這麼危險的事情比性騷擾還過分誒!
