: Lessons from a Life in Science
A Book by Nobel Prize Winner James D. Watson
I have read this book after being a fan of Francis Crick for years, and sure enough, James Watson is also cast from a similar mold... inquisitive, assuming nothing, fun, witty, and introspective. This would be a great read I would imagine for anyone sunk in the institution of academia, it reveals how those institutions really work. I applaud Watson personally for his very important work, and his relevant views, which are neither incendiary nor aggresive, but simply based on the facts of an observable universe. Which is right where we belong.

Yesterday NPR interviewed James. It's a double title: Avoid boring(adj, /uninteresting) people, and avoid boring(vt, /annoying) other people. Hopefully the content is as cute, witty, and insightful.
Checked some book review:
Engaging, witty, and anecdotally wise....,
