Charlie's Lab

More about the book

For thirty years, Charlie Gross of Princeton University headed one of the most consequential neuroscience labs of the twentieth century, hidden behind locked doors in a secret wing of an old stone building. Michael Graziano, a member of that elite group of lab mates for twenty years, writes about Charlie's Lab, the place and the people in it. The result is a book every bit as strange, counterculture, and colorful as the lab itself and the man who oversaw it.
