Leigh’s Reviews > Madness and Memory: The Discovery of Prions--A New Biological Principle of Disease > Status Update

I want to read this because I'm interested in the structure of prions for my academic work, but my god, autobiography has got to be the WORST way to organize a scientific narrative. Researchers need training in effective scientific communication, otherwise they tell us about their childhood and feelings as if that is at all relevant! See also Neorotribes, which also suffered from unnecessary biographical detail.
