The Dance of Life: The New Science of How a Single Cell Becomes a Human Being by Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, Roger Highfield

4.0

This is more of a memoir that goes into detail about her scientific work. This intrigued me because I don't know much about embryology, so I was curious to learn. I definitely enjoyed reading her story, and learning a bit about embryology. Though she did focus a bit too much on the details of her process and less on the implications than I would have liked. That might be just because I couldn't follow much of it, as she did get technical and I have absolutely no formal training in biology, much less embryology. I still enjoyed it though, and if you're looking to learn about embryology from the perspective of a research scientist in the field, and told in the format of a memoir, then you should read this.
