A review by lydiacunitz
The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist by Ben Barres

informative inspiring sad fast-paced

4.0

I found the life section the most compelling, the science section was dense but informative, and the advocacy section was inspirational. Ben Barres had so much influence not just over scientific discovery but the culture of academia as well. His autobiography is an important read for anyone interested in academia or neuroscience.
