Jessie Aitkin, the long-time Editor-in-Chief of a leading life
sciences journal, receives a fantastic job offer. A young animal
rights activist requests an interview with her husband, Peter Dahl,
a research scientist at a prestigious institute. An unexpected
revelation sets in motion a series of events that shifts the course
of their careers and their relationship. In this novel, another
page turner by the author of Raw Data: A Novel on Life in Science
(Springer 2016), enthusiasm for basic research and for how science
is - and could be - communicated combine in a thoughtful reflection
on the impact of ambition on personal relationships. In a
non-technical appendix, the author discusses the use of narrative
in scientific papers and considers alternative modes of science
publishing, one of which is featured in the novel. Storytelling in
science has the potential to enhance communication, but may also
have unintended consequences. This novel and the appendix explore
these timely and important issues for the scientific community.
