'The perfect Christmas book for those already restless for spring' - Tim Adams, Guardian Best Biographies of 2016 Lab Girl is a book about work and about love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren's remarkable stories: about the discoveries she has made in her lab, as well as her struggle to get there; about her childhood playing in her father's laboratory; about how lab work became a sanctuary for both her heart and her hands; about Bill, the brilliant, wounded man who became her loyal colleague and best friend; about their field trips - sometimes authorised, sometimes very much not - that took them from the Midwest across the USA, to Norway and to Ireland, from the pale skies of North Pole to tropical Hawaii; and about her constant striving to do and be her best, and her unswerving dedication to her life's work. Visceral, intimate, gloriously candid and sometimes extremely funny, Jahren's descriptions of her work, her intense relationship with the plants, seeds and soil she studies, and her insights on nature enliven every page of this thrilling book. In Lab Girl, we see anew the complicated power of the natural world, and the power that can come from facing with bravery and conviction the challenge of discovering who you are.

I love this book. The life of a woman scientist is full of difficulties I hadn't known about. The author is an interesting person with a passion for plants, and the book alternates with her personal story and science. Possibly the most engaging thing about the book are the stories and descriptions of her lab partner, with whom she has a professional relationship somewhat like a marriage without the physical intimacy. This is an entertaining book.
