“This is a terrific idea and so well done. I can’t imagine anyone who would not love this book. It is filled with enlightening insights into the scientific endeavor and yet is conversational and occasionally even gossipy. Readers will enjoy every page, while learning a great deal about the process of medical discovery."
-Sherwin B. Nuland
"A skilled storyteller, Meyers explains in layman’s terms the science involved... Illuminating."
