I snatched up the advance copy that appeared at work and have been enjoying every page. I’ve been plugging it on facebook, and am currently sitting in my local library, waiting for the head librarian to get out of a meeting so I can pitch it to her. 🙂
Rachel Swaby: I think you would be excellent at screen plays on this subject. After seeing her performance in ‘Interstellar’, I think Anne Hathaway would make an excellent Lise Meitner. Her life encompassed such a dynamic time. I feel confident that the film industry could do a lot more to encourage the scientists in all of us.
