You Must be Very Intelligent is the author's account of studying
for a PhD in a modern, successful university. Part-memoir and
part-expose, this book is highly entertaining and unusually
revealing about the dubious morality and desperate behaviour which
underpins competition in twenty-first century academia. This witty,
warts-and-all account of Bodewits years as a PhD student in the
august University of Edinburgh is full of success and failure,
passion and pathos, insight, farce and warm-hearted
disillusionment. She describes a world of collaboration and
backstabbing; nefarious financing and wasted genius; cosmopolitan
dreamers and discoveries that might just change the world... Is
this a smart people's world or a drip can of weird species? Modern
academia is certainly darker and stranger than one might suspect...
This book will put a wry, knowing smile on the faces of former
researchers. And it is a cautionary parable for innocents who still
believe that lofty academia is erected upon moral high ground...
