Jane Silverthorne - Professor, Mollecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology (now at NSF)

Selected: Dorothy Hodgkin: A Life by Georgina Ferry

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was a pioneer in X-ray crystallography. This book introduces you to the scientist, wife, mother, and peace activist. The science is covered beautifully and in a way that is accessible to non-specialists but it is her story that you will remember long after you finish the book.
