Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a mythic figure in science. Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and neurobiology, he was largely responsible for the modern conception of the brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous System in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a legacy of unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to educate the novice scientist about how science was done and how he thought it should be done. This recently rediscovered classic, first published in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro.
Cajal was a pragmatist, aware of the pitfalls of being too idealistic -- and he had a sense of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of various stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) was an incredible scientist--he made invaluable contributions to neuroanatomy, including some of the most beautiful scientific illustrations since Vesalius. He was also a popular author, and above all a dedicated teacher, offering fatherly advice to students and young researchers on a wide range of topics.
这篇读书笔记是我读《Advice for a young investigator》时候的笔记,与各位分享。希望大家也能从这本一个世纪以前的书中有所收获。一定要说在前面的是,笔记中出现的内容并不代表我的个人观点。 1 引言 “知”的作用:行动与预见 2 新手面临的陷阱——克服“启动障碍”(让...
评分150多页的书,还是大字体,宽行距 里面涉及到很多作者从自己对国家的感情出发,可以了解 对于科研本质的探索精神也值得学习,作者提到了做研究,即使是仪器简陋也没关系,关键还是在于人本是,人才是有思想性,有创造力的本体,这一点对我启发很大。 Be simply, be forward!
评分读完前两章我对作者的崇敬上升到一种拜大神的高度,作者对新人的苦恼和科学领域中裹足不前的种种人真是洞若观火,但后半本,尤其是倒数第三章,价值观输出太多,连研究者该与什么样的人结婚都给出了建议,不禁令人哑然。
评分天才是让人望而兴叹的,他们总是在自己的领域里轻轻松松便能成果颇丰。那么,这是否意味着普通人就难以在有限的资质和条件下,摘取成功的果实?诺贝尔奖获得者圣地亚哥·拉蒙·卡哈尔认为并非如此。 他在《致青年学者》中谈资质的问题。认为“相对于广阔的未知领域,权威在某...
评分1、人们对天才的过分尊重往往源于对公平的追求和自身的谦虚。 2、衡量一个人的勇气大小只有两个基准点:征服困难或被困难征服。 3、当某人不再盲目的沉浸在阅读印成铅字的天才的作品使之产生的那种自欺欺人的满足感之中,而是走进实验室去验证自己的一些新奇而其实的想法时,崇...
我认为个人对真理的追求,与民族自尊心无关,甚至与自己都无关;这是本能。
评分Highly recommended for every aspiring researcher or struggling grad student
评分大部分看得不知所云,有点像鸡汤,重复得最多的是要勤奋,要持之以恒,却没有说为什么有的人能比另一些人更勤奋更持之以恒。 另外,无法苟同作者认为妻子是丈夫附属品的看法。
评分读完后真心被Cajal的人格所打动——不仅仅自身是一位伟大的科学家,还在青年科学家上倾注了极大的心血,更令人动容的是他浓重的爱国情怀。关于此书,我总结的take-home message是,perseverance和originality是一个科学家最关键的品质。
评分100年前性别歧视以及小科学的时代。。
