Informationen zum Autor 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. Her first book, Explaining Humans , won the Royal Society Science Book Prize. Klappentext A scientist's journey from observation to discovery is anything but straightforward.
