Synopsis:
A journey into the hearts and minds of seven of the most distinguished scientists of our time--age 38 to 81. And while some are pioneers in brand new fields of research, other have solved mysteries that are centuries old. The story of seven individuals whose interest in science has led them to very interesting and unique career choices. From the elderly Gertrude Elion, an avid pharmaceutical chemist who believes in the beauty of scientific truth, to Patricia C. Wright, who won a MacArthur genius Award for her work training owl monkeys, these six people all find solace and inspiration in the answers afforded by science.
