nixie reviewed Song of the Cell by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Rich in many ways
5.0 stars
This was just lovely. Scientific detail straight from the source and heartfelt human stories. Poetry and nerdery. Ethics and biomedical puzzles. Brilliantly written. I loved it so much I wish the author had a podcast. If I had read this book on the right day in high school I'd have applied for a biology program at the university for sure :)
