I wrote seven non-fiction books before my religious memoir "Faith, Interrupted" was published last year, and altogether used the letter “I” for myself perhaps a dozen times. Not so, of course, in this case. You recast yourself as a writer and as a person when you write a memoir. It may not be the point of doing it but it surely is the outcome. Friends of decades tell you they learned things about Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Eric Lax (?)

“The development of antibiotics is one of the most successful stories in the history of medicine, but it is unclear whether its ending will be a completely happy one. Fleming prophetically warned in his 1945 Nobel lecture that the improper use of penicillin would lead to its becoming ineffective. The danger was not in taking too much; it was in taking too little to kill the bacteria but “enough to educate them to resist penicillin.”
― Eric Lax, The Mold in Dr. Florey's Coat: The Story of Penicillin and the Modern Age of Medical Miracles
