I completed “In search of memory” by Nobel laureate Eric Kandel. It took me two months! While it’s not an easy read, the book dives into what it takes to do science at the highest level. Talent is a small part of it. What matters is endless curiosity, risk-taking attitude, trusting your intuitions, persistence , and developing lifelong relationships.

The book is heavy on neuroscience, molecular biology and biochemistry. Honestly, I did not understand all of it. And most of what I understood, came from asking a lot of questions to AI. It was a very satisfying read, nonetheless!
