Pioneers of Neurobiology

This memoir recounts stories gleaned from many years in the laboratory with students, postdoctoral fellows, and fellow scientists. Through these narratives, the author shares the amusing oddities and quirks of those friends, some of them Nobel Prize winners, others students or technicians. These informal chats give the reader a glimpse into the backsides of laboratories, the peculiar practical jokes perpetrated by supposedly serious scientists, and the joy and sheer fun of doing experiments.
