“This is a wonderful collection of stories written with charm and eloquence by a wonderful collection of people. There are captivating tales of celebrated characters and intriguing hidden stories from those sidelined from the spotlight. This book goes some way to giving them the credit that they so richly deserve. For me, this book also proves that science is not the sole preserve of the privileged old guard and proudly states that – whoever you are, whatever your background – there is a future for you in science if you want it.” — Dr Hannah Fry, University College London
