Lab Girl by
National Bestseller "A beautifully written memoir about the life of a woman in science, a brilliant friendship, and the profundity of trees. Geobiologist Hope Jahren has spent her life studying trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Lab Girl is her revelatory treatise on plant life - but it is also a celebration of the lifelong curiosity, humility, and passion that drive every scientist.
Coming Soon: The Story of More by Hope Jahren
Hope Jahren is currently working on a new book that will be released in March 2020. The Story of More focuses on how climate change occurred and where to go from here.
“As a scientist, I am indeed only an ant, insufficient and anonymous, but I am stronger than I look, and part of something that is much bigger than I am.”
"No matter how many classrooms I went into where I was the only girl in the physics class, I never questioned the fact that I didn’t belong there."
