书籍简介

科学家从观察到发现的旅程绝非一帆风顺。它充满了失败、意想不到的消遣和快乐的认识。科学帮助我们在一个常常感觉自己像陌生人的世界中了解自己——但我们对周围世界的了解，以及已经被探索和发现的，只是科学故事的一半。

卡米拉·庞博士将探讨当今科学面临的一些大的谜团，以及一些优秀的科学家如何阐明我们在生活中观察、假设、探索、故障排除和发现的方法。

《突破》探索了我们对世界的了解和未知之间的边界：知识与神秘相遇，复杂性压倒确定性，浩瀚的宇宙解开了科学既定定律的逻辑。

科学的稳定性原本是她自闭症生存的安全毯；在自己成为一名科学家后，卡米拉很快意识到事实完全相反。科学研究就像生活一样，受到新技术和无处不在的信息的困扰，不断变化。这是它的诅咒的一部分，也是它的美丽的一部分。

我们每个人的内心深处都隐藏着一位科学家。科学给我们的伟大的礼物不是公式，而是激发我们发现的冲动，使我们成为真正的人类。

A scientist’s journey from observation to discovery is anything but straightforward. It is littered with failure, unexpected diversions and joyous realisations. Science helps us to understand ourselves in a world where we often feel like strangers - 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 cutting-edge scientists can illuminate our own approaches to observation, hypothesis, exploration, troubleshooting and discovery in our lives.

Breakthrough explores the frontier between what we do and don’t know about the world: where knowledge meets mystery, complexity overwhelms certainty, and the vastness of our universe unspools the logic of science's established laws.

The stability of science was originally a safety blanket for her survival with Autism; after becoming a scientist herself, Camilla quickly realises that it is the complete opposite. Scientific research, much like life - beset by new technology and ubiquitous information - is constantly changing. Part of its curse but also of its beauty.

There's a scientist hidden inside all of us. Science's greatest gift to us is not formulae but enabling the urge to discover that makes us truly human.

作者简介

Camilla Pang 博士拥有伦敦大学学院生物化学博士学位，是一名专门研究转化生物信息学的博士后科学家。卡米拉八岁时被诊断患有 ASD（自闭症谱系障碍），二十六岁时被诊断出患有多动症。她的诊断在很大程度上影响了她的职业和学习，她对了解人类、我们的行为和工作方式的热情驱使着她。

Dr Camilla Pang holds a PhD in biochemistry from University College London and is a postdoctoral scientist specializing in translational bioinformatics. At the age of eight, Camilla was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and ADHD at twenty-six years old. Her career and studies have been heavily influenced by her diagnosis and she is driven by her passion for understanding humans, our behaviours and how we work.
