Catch How To Win The Nobel Prize: An Unexpected Life In Science Picturized By J. Michael Bishop Offered In Script

was enjoyable and nerdy to read, Liked the autobiographical bits plus learned some microbiology on the side, Worthwhile. A must read for any graduate student in the sciences, Bishop is one of my proximal heroes, as he codiscovered one of the proteins I work on and was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work.
I found quote after quote

from Bishop that struck me with its humor and/or fundamental insight, A great book about how science works and what it means to be a scientist,

I liked the first two sections the most and would have been happier if he'd just stuck with the memoir/science policy approach for the rest of the book.
He's a great writer, but the middle parts were a little uninspiring, I don't think it's his fault, it just wasn't telling me much I didn't already know about disease/cancer, With that being said, those parts are definitely something an interested layperson could get into,

A clever, inspiring read full of urgency, humor, and science history, I didn't learn how to win the prize, but I did learn a lot about cancer and infectious diseases, Not actually a book about how to win the Nobel Prize, This book is more along the lines of memoirs of a Nobel laureate, InMichael Bishop and Harold Varmus were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery that normal genes under certain conditions can cause cancer.
In this book, Bishop tells us how he and Varmus made their momentous discovery, More than a lively account of the making of a brilliant scientist, How to Win the Nobel Prize is also a broader narrative combining two major and intertwined strands of medical history: the long and ongoing struggles to control infectious diseases and to find and attack the causes of cancer.
