书籍简介

在68岁时，知名的普林斯顿科学教授马克斯-魏斯被收买，提前退休。魏斯沮丧地意识到他好的年华还没有过去，他设计了一个别出心裁的复仇计划，即以 "戴安娜-斯科迪利斯博士 "的形式——这是魏斯和三位年迈的同事合作的假名，每个人都对科学界怀有敌意。然而，Skordylis小组没有预料到的是，他们的事业取得了巨大的成功：发现了PCR，这是当代生物医学科学中重要的突破之一。职业上的嫉妒很快就威胁到了戴安娜-斯科迪利斯的生命。当自我的力量考验着合作的纽带时，读者可以看到学术界和科学企业的内部世界的迷人一瞥。

At the age of 68, distinguished Princeton science professor Max Weiss is bribed into taking an early retirement. Frustratingly aware that his best years are not yet behind him, Weiss devises an inventive revenge in the form of “Dr. Diana Skordylis”—a pseudonym for a partnership among Weiss and three aging colleagues, each with an ax to grind against the scientific community. What the Skordylis group doesn’t anticipate, however, is the unbridled success of their venture: the discovery of PCR, one of the most important breakthroughs in contemporary biomedical science. Professional jealousy soon threatens Diana Skordylis’s life. As the force of ego tests the bonds of collaboration, the reader is treated to a fascinating glimpse inside the worlds of academia and scientific enterprise.
