An anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a
refreshing resource for the old pro, covering everything from
valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors
conducive to scientific work. Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a mythic
figure in science. Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and
neurobiology, he was largely responsible for the modern conception
of the brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the
Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous System
in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a legacy of
unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to educate the
novice scientist about how science was done and how he thought it
should be done. This recently rediscovered classic, first published
in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator
as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro. Cajal was a
pragmatist, aware of the pitfalls of being too idealistic-and he
had a sense of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of
various stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers
everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to
social factors conducive to scientific work.
