 | Ahead of the Curve
David Baltimore, the president of CalTech, earned his PhD in 18 months, and won the Nobel Prize at the age of 37. Crotty's biography of this respected scientist deeply surveys the extensive contributions that Baltimore has made to the study of biology--particularly microbiology and AIDS research. Beyond that, he discusses Baltimore the man, whose intensity and ambition not only catapulted him to the fore of contemporary scientific research but also embroiled him in a notorious public battle about scientific fraud.
