What a humbling memoir. I absolutely felt honoured to have read and appreciated it.
I’ve just immersed myself in this memoir. I’m not even a tiny bit scientifically minded, so I appreciated the not too in-depth analysis of what they are doing and was so content with ‘you cannot win a formula 1 race with one foot on the gas pedal, and the other on the brakes’. What absolutely shone was the gift of this scientist ‘using himself as a subject’; what an incredible human, such a worthy Australian of the Year. I feel a real sense honour to reading this book. The love Richard Scolyer has for his life, his family and his profession is just so apparent on every page. Definitely one for us all
