Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a mythic figure in science. Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and neurobiology, he was largely responsible for the modern conception of the brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous System in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a legacy of unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to educate the novice scientist about how science was done and how he thought it should be done. This recently rediscovered classic, first published in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro.
Cajal was a pragmatist, aware of the pitfalls of being too idealistic -- and he had a sense of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of various stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) was an incredible scientist--he made invaluable contributions to neuroanatomy, including some of the most beautiful scientific illustrations since Vesalius. He was also a popular author, and above all a dedicated teacher, offering fatherly advice to students and young researchers on a wide range of topics.
1. 在过去的一百年里,自然科学领域已经完全放弃了亚里士多德式的观点,即对直觉观、灵感论与独断论的推崇。 毕达哥拉斯派的信徒以及柏拉图的追随者们都喜欢沉浸在对问题的反思之中,他们认为只要向内探求人的头脑或者灵魂深处的东西就能发现某种宇宙通用的法则,获得人生之谜...
评分读完前两章我对作者的崇敬上升到一种拜大神的高度,作者对新人的苦恼和科学领域中裹足不前的种种人真是洞若观火,但后半本,尤其是倒数第三章,价值观输出太多,连研究者该与什么样的人结婚都给出了建议,不禁令人哑然。

评分1、人们对天才的过分尊重往往源于对公平的追求和自身的谦虚。 2、衡量一个人的勇气大小只有两个基准点:征服困难或被困难征服。 3、当某人不再盲目的沉浸在阅读印成铅字的天才的作品使之产生的那种自欺欺人的满足感之中,而是走进实验室去验证自己的一些新奇而其实的想法时,崇...
评分这本书虽然是写给young investigator,我觉得在各个阶段的人都可以读。 如果读者是beginner,最重要的就是要有足够的motivation,如果实在不够,那就按照书上的建议去做吧。因为此书经过这么多人的阅读和验证,还是有足够的指导意义。 如果已经在某个研究领域徘徊过一段时间...
Highly recommended for every aspiring researcher or struggling grad student
