Watson, who shared the Nobel Prize for revealing the structure of DNA--comes a personal account of the making of a scientist. Watson shares the less revolutionary secrets he has found to getting along and getting ahead in a competitive world. Each phase of his experience yields age-specific practical advice. A believer in the intellectual promise of youth, Watson offers pointers to beginning scientists about choosing the projects that will shape their careers, the supreme importance of collegiality, and dealing with competitors within the same institution, even one who is a former mentor. Later he addresses the role and needs of science at large universities. Scorning political correctness, this irreverent romp through Watson's life and learning is a guide to anyone plotting a career in science (or most anything else), addressed both to the next generation and those who are entrusted with their minds.--From publisher description. 000327336 60010 $$aWatson, James D.,$$d1928- 000327336 650_0 $$aMolecular biologists$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000327336 650_0 $$aScientists$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000327336 85200 $$bgen$$hQH3.W34$$iA3$$i2007 000327336 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0716/2007015675.html 000327336 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0838/2007015675-b.html 000327336 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0838/2007015675-d.html 000327336 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0838/2007015675-s.html 000327336 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:327336$$pGLOBAL_SET 000327336 980__ $$aBIB 000327336 980__ $$aBOOK
