"""This is the kind of book that any historian of medicine, geneticist, or researcher should have on his/her shelf, as should any reader interested in understanding the current trends in medicine… a book to consult as an inspiration, particularly for young scientists, but also for seasoned researchers coping with unexpected problems, crafting a new project, or exploring uncharted waters."" - Alain Touwaide, PhD (The Huntington) ""In the fields of history, philosophy, and sociology of science there is a reasonable amount of information for the curriculum vitae of each of these geneticists and about half of them have had a biography written about them. What is less frequently found in these biographies and brief lives are analyses of their papers and the way they were received at the time of their initial publication. Dronamraju does this with sensitivity and insight into their personalities."" - Elof Axel Carlson, Institute for Advanced Study, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana and Biochemistry & Cell Biology, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York ""This is the kind of book that any historian of medicine, geneticist, or researcher should have on his/her shelf, as should any reader interested in understanding the current trends in medicine… a book to consult as an inspiration, particularly for young scientists, but also for seasoned researchers coping with unexpected problems, crafting a new project, or exploring uncharted waters.""
