More about the book

The story centers on Albert Schatz, a dedicated graduate student who, while conducting research for his doctorate at Rutgers University, discovers streptomycin, a groundbreaking antibiotic for tuberculosis. Despite his significant achievement in October 1943, Schatz is overshadowed by his professor, Selman Waksman, who claims the credit for the discovery. This narrative explores themes of ambition, recognition, and the often-unjust dynamics within academic research.
