This volume contains 36 interviews with biomedical scientists (26 of whom are Nobel laureates). The conversations cover research areas and discoveries, as well as the roads to these discoveries, including aspects of the scientists' work that never saw publication. The book includes details on the scientists' backgrounds, aspirations, failings and triumphs. It is illustrated with snapshots of the conversations and photos provided by the interviewees. This book should be of interest to biomedical scientists, biochemists and general readers. It is a follow-up to "Candid Science: Conversations with Famous Chemists", by the same author.

Industry Reviews
"The book is easy to read ... Overall, they give an accurate flavor of biomedical research ..." Choice "The present selection of interviews gives a cross section covering a broad range of topics, personalities, and circumstances of recording. I agree with Hargittai's evaluation and heartily recommend his book, suitable for both complete reading or browsing, to biomedical scientists, biochemists, chemists, historians of chemistry and or science, and general readers interested in the 'inside story' of the workings of 20th-century science." The Chemical Educator "I heartily recommend this book, suitable for both complete reading or browsing, to biomedical scientists, biochemists, chemists, historians of chemistry and of science generally, and general readers interested in the 'inside story' of the workings of 20th-century science."
