From the reviews:
“This is pocket-sized guide for surgeons contemplating a career in translational or basic science research. It is intended as a primer for surgical trainees considering a scientific career. … Chapters are brief and clearly written, and use black-and-white line drawings and tables to good effect. All of the illustrations reproduce with good quality, including the occasional photographs and color drawings. … This is a quick but important read for surgeons in training considering a career in academic surgery with a significant laboratory component.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2014)
