In The Beginner's Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize, Doherty
recounts his unlikely path to becoming a Nobel Laureate. Beginning
with his humble origins in Australia, he tells how he developed an
interest in immunology and describes his award-winning, influential
work with Rolf Zinkernagel on T-cells and the nature of immune
defense. In prose that is at turns amusing and astute, Doherty
reveals how his nonconformist upbringing, sense of being an
outsider, and search for different perspectives have shaped his
life and work. Doherty offers a rare, insider's look at the
realities of being a research scientist. He lucidly explains his
own scientific work and how research projects are selected, funded,
and organized; the major problems science is trying to solve; and
the rewards and pitfalls of a career in scientific research. For
Doherty, science still plays an important role in improving the
world, and he argues that scientists need to do a better job of
making their work more accessible to the public. Throughout the
book, Doherty explores the stories of past Nobel winners and
considers some of the crucial scientific debates of our time,
including the safety of genetically modified foods and the tensions
between science and religion. He concludes with some "tips" on how
to win a Nobel Prize, including advice on being persistent,
generous, and culturally aware, and he stresses the value of
evidence. The Beginner's Guide to Winning the Noble Prize is
essential reading for anyone interested in a career in science.
