Surprisingly heartfelt, though a few ethical issues kept me from enjoying this more. Hope’s relationship with Bill is moving one moment, yet seems exploitative the next. I simply cannot understand how she could justify letting this man work 12+ hour days in her lab while paying him such an egregiously low wage that hes literally homeless and sleeping in the lab.

Natural science is my jaaaaam. I've spent a good chunk of my life in labs, but there's no better setting than the natural lab that the world provides us. This memoir supports me one thousand times over, as it weaves together Hope's path with her studies, careers, and relationships. As many other reviewers have mentioned, her partnership with Bill is nothing short of delightful. Reading about their struggles and triumphs is almost like I was right alongside them on their journey.
