Jeff's Views provide witty, insightful, and thought-provoking looks
into the life of a modern scientist. From starting off to letting
go, Gottfried ("Jeff") Schatz leads us through the trials and
triumphs of scientific life. With his tongue firmly in his cheek,
and his humour always intact, the Austrian essayist leads us
through the confusing and seemingly insurmountable hill that is the
career path of European scientists. In addition to giving useful
insights into how to get funding, give seminars, and still find
time to make that leading edge scientific discovery, Jeff explores
the philosophical dimensions of recent biological breakthroughs
such as the sequencing of the human genome, the evolution of
sensory receptors, and cellular suicide.
Gottfried Schatz is one of the world's leading scientists in the
field of bioenergetics and mitochondria biology. Born in a small
Austrian village, he started his scientific career at the
University of Graz, and ended it as President of the Swiss Science
and Technology Council. With stints as a violinist in Austrian
opera houses, professorships in the USA and Switzerland, and
numerous prestigious awards along the way, Jeff is a true European,
whose unique, and often controversial, viewpoints are appreciated
by scientists and politicians alike.
These essays look at science from a very personal angle - often
critical, sometimes sad, but always with excitement, wonder, and
admiration. It is hoped that they will make you look at science
with a slightly different view.
