I love when great scientists are also great writers. I also love when smart people are bad drivers. It makes me feel better about all the dents on my car. Whether you read this book or not, plant a tree this year :)

Wonderful memoir. Fascinating science and very moving reflections on life.

Hope narrates the audiobook herself and does a fantastic job, though she pronounces "roots" in a wild way and may have been fully weeping during some segments and I found that overwhelming/difficult to listen to!

Just not in the right mood for this book, I’m definitely interested but I’ll wait for a time it’s higher on my priorities

Lab Girl is a highly readable love letter to science. The way Jahren writes about trees really moved me. I'm going to share these bits of the book with my tree-loving mother, who never passed up an opportunity to plant another tree in her yard (or mine). She's going to love it.
