I loved this book. Dr. York tells great stories about what she describes as research driven by curiosity, which I think is a great description of basic or pure research. She also explains the tangible contributions this research has made to society, making a great case for the importance of this type of research. The writing is clever and certainly made me chuckle a few times. All the science is excellently explained and Dr York does a great job of sharing her enthusiasm for the research. This book was an absolute pleasure to read. Thank you to Netgalley and Basic Books for the advance reader copy.
