This biography probes the unusual mind, the dramatic life, and the
outstanding scientific work of Danish-born immunologist Niels Jerne
(1911-1994). Jerne's Nobel Prize-winning achievements in the field
of immunology place him in the pantheon of great twentieth-century
biomedical theorists, yet his life is perhaps even more interesting
than his science. Science as Autobiography tells Jerne's story,
weaving together a narrative of his life experiences, emotional
life, and extraordinarily creative scientific work. A legendary
figure who preferred an afternoon of conversation in a Paris wine
bar to work in the laboratory, Jerne was renowned for his
unparalleled powers of concentration and analytical keenness as
well as his dissonant personal life. The book explores Jerne the
man and scientist, making the fascinating argument that his life
experience and view of himself became a metaphorical resource for
the construction of his the ories. The book also probes the moral
issues that surrounded Jerne's choice to sacrifice his family in
favor of scientific goals and the pursuit of excellence.
