Gottfried Schatz is one of the world’s leading scientists in the field of bioenergetics and mitochondria biology. Born in a small Austrian village, he started his scientific career at the University of Graz, and ended it as President of the Swiss Science and Technology Council. With stints as a violinist in Austrian opera houses, professorships in the USA and Switzerland, and numerous prestigious awards along the way, Jeff is a true European, whose unique, and often controversial, viewpoints are appreciated by scientists and politicians alike.
These essays look at science from a very personal angle – often critical, sometimes sad, but always with excitement, wonder, and admiration. It is hoped that they will make you look at science with a slightly different view.
*Witty, insightful, and thought-provoking looks into life of a modern scientist
*Provides useful insights on how to get funding, give seminars, and still find time to make that scientific discovery
*Explores recent breakthroughs in science: genome sequencing, sensory receptor evolution, and cellular suicide
