Summary

"Science, not Art: Ten scientists' diaries is a companion volume to Art, not Chance: Nine artists' diaries in which leading artists give readers a unique insight into their working lives. In Science, not Art a young generation of outstanding scientists, many of them Royal Society Research Fellows and working in fields as diverse as genetics, cosmology, marine biology and palaeopathology, defy the stereotypes, revealing with an unusual honesty the frustrations, comic moments and occasional breakthroughs in the charged and highly competitive world of contemporary science. What do mathematicians actually do? How are hypotheses dreamed up and then tested in space physiology, climate change or neuroscience. And how does such intense commitment impact on private, domestic and social lives?"--BOOK JACKET.
