A beginner's guide to winning the Nobel Prize

Starting with the story of his own career - its improbable origins in the outer suburbs of Brisbane, and its progression to a breakthrough discovery about how human immunity works. Doherty explores the realities of a life in science. How research projects are selected; how discovery science is resourced and organised; the big problems it is trying to solve; and the rewards and pitfalls of a career in scientific research. Doherty gives readers an insight into the issues that make him tick - including his belief that the mission of science is to help make the world a better place to live in.
