Ben Barres was known for his groundbreaking scientific work and for his groundbreaking advocacy for gender equality in science. In this book, completed shortly before his death, Barres (born Barbara Barres in 1954) describes a life full of remarkable accomplishments. Barres recounts his early life and felt even as a very young child that he was assigned the wrong gender. After years of being acutely uncomfortable in his own skin, Barres transitioned from female to male. It was after transitioning that he realized how differently male and female scientists are treated.

Not worthless, but better read than listened to

Too much scientific gibberish
Revisado: 04-09-20
I wanted to hear a little more detail about what happened during his transition besides just about his career the majority of the book. There were many scenarios where Ben talked about how he was being sexualized but left out specific context . I expected the book to be more about his transition than his whole college education three times over . Towards the end of the book, he mentioned what went on during his mentorship with students and just talked all scientifically as if we knew his knowledge. Overall, I wouldn't say this read was a waste but if it wasn't an assignment I probably wouldn't have read it .
