Críticas
"There are many excellent and thorough books on various segments of the scientific career, but none that cover the span of years and experiences described in this text. The selection of topics is appropriately broad, yet the focus remains on the elements of success. It is a mentor in print." - Karen L. Klomparens, Dean of the Graduate School, Michigan State University"
