Reviews for The Chicago Guide to Landing a Job in Academic Biology
"I think this book will help a lot of people. It is amazingly comprehensive. The authors don't assume a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead make the reader think hard about what will be the best fit for each situation, by raising the issues they raise and by discussing real-life concerns." - Lynda Delph, associate chair, Department of Biology, Indiana University"
