FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF EXPLAINING HUMANS

'A wondrous hymn to the scientific method, and some of its most profound discoveries, and what it can teach us all about how to live better and richer lives' Prof. Lewis Dartnell, author of BEING HUMAN: How our Biology shaped World History.

A scientist’s journey from observation to discovery is anything but straightforward. It is littered with failure, unexpected diversions and joyous realizations.

Science helps us to understand ourselves – but what we know about the world around us, what has already been explored and discovered, is only half of science’s story. Dr Camilla Pang will look at some of the biggest mysteries facing science today and how some of the best, most cutting-edge scientists can illuminate our own approaches to observation, hypothesis, exploration, troubleshooting and discovery in our own lives.
