Lynn’s comments from the Science Book Chat group.

I loved this book, Her depiction of the pursuit of science (although quirky Sara) was fascinating to me. I learned things I did not know such as the fact that trees communicate with one another, I found her critique of academia with tales of sexism, cut throat competition, and the never ending search for money very accurate. In addition, Finally, I was impressed with her open discussion about my bipolar disease. It is true that she approached the topic "sideways" as Sara indicates but it takes courage, We need more people to stand up and claim their mental illness if we are ever going to tackle the problem.

Lab Girl was my favorite 2016 book.Would love to discuss it,
