Book Title: She Has Her Mother’s Laugh
Author: Carl Zimmer
Selection Statement:
I love this book because it tells the personal stories of many of the scientists that contributed to the field of genetics as we know it today. It also tells about the dark side of genetics, persecution and the nightmare that was eugenics. Telling these tales in the classroom brings personality and meaning to the information, and students love hearing about them.
