Kathy Weston has written a book about key areas of modern biology that is both entertaining and informative. Her portraits of the key scientists at the then ICRF at Lincoln's Inn Fields, who made some of the seminal discoveries she describes, bring them to life as interesting and often entertaining people, far from the usual stereotype of the single track scientist sitting at his bench. This is a book that can be enjoyed by all ,whether or not a scientist. - Sir Walter Bodmer, Cancer & Immunogenetics Laboratory, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, Kathy Weston has written a book about key areas of modern biology that is both entertaining and informative.

Synopsis
What happens when a cancer research institute's only remit is to be the best it can be? For more than 100 years, one laboratory in London has operated on just that premise. With a generous budget, inspired leadership, and a stable of scientific thoroughbreds, the Imperial Cancer Research Fund Laboratories produced some of the 20th century's most exciting advances in molecular biology. In its 21st century incarnation, as the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute, it continues to inspire a new generation of researchers. In this book, written with the assistance of the past and present inhabitants of the London Research Institute, Kathy Weston tells the inside story of the lab's greatest voyages into the scientific unknown, revealing the personalities behind the dry passive voice of the scientific paper. Science is an art, a vocation, a complicated landscape of data in which, just sometimes, the trained and alert eye can detect a glint of gold. In these pages, the gold is present, but equally to be treasured are the all-too-human scientists stumbling towards its seductive glimmer., London's Imperial Cancer Research Fund laboratories at Lincoln's Inn Fields and Clare Hall (renamed The London Research Institute in 2002) were world-famous for a century. This book, published with the assistance of the Institute, contains snapshots of the science done at the ICRF, a selection of discoveries with lasting impact on biological knowledge. The author, Kathy Weston, an experienced research investigator, also tells the human stories underlying the facts of discovery, revealing what really happened, and the personalities involved, behind the passive voice and dry logic of scientific reports. Science is an emotional journey, an art, a vocation, a complicated landscape of data in which, just sometimes, the trained and alert eye can detect the glint of gold. In this book, the gold is there but the all too human scientists stumbling towards its seductive glimmer are the real treasure.
