  • Lab Girl by Hope Jahren
    Lab Girl by Hope Jahren An illuminating debut memoir of a woman in science; a moving portrait of a longtime collaboration, in work and in life; and a stunningly fresh look at plants that will forever change how you see and think about the natural world. Why you'll like it: Science writing. Accessible. Engaging. Lyrical. About the Author: Hope Jahren is an award-winning scientist who has been pursuing independent research in paleobiology since 1996, when she completed her PhD at University of California Berkeley and began teaching and researching first at the Georgia Institute of Technology and then at Johns Hopkins University. She is the recipient of three Fulbright Awards and is one of four scientists, and the only woman, to have been awarded both of the Young Investigator Medals given within the Earth Sciences. She was a tenured professor at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu from 2008 to 2016, where she built the Isotope Geobiology Laboratories, with support from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. She currently holds the J. Tuzo Wilson professorship at the University of Oslo, Norway. Questions for Discussion 1. Lab Girl opens with a detailed description of the laboratory Jahren loved as a child. How does she transform a cinder-block room stocked with scientific equipment into a “castle” ( p. 8)? In what ways do her recollections of her time in the lab and the trips home late at night with her father evoke the mood and magic of fairy tales? 2. Jahren writes of the emotional distances between members of a Scandinavian family, of “growing up in a culture where you can never ask anyone anything about themselves” (p.11).

  • "Lab Girl" Reader Resources
    NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS Reader Resources Lab Girl by Hope Jahren Jahren is a geobiologist from rural Minnesota who not only knows her trees and flowers, but “has some serious literary chops” (The Washington Post). Her award-winning, bestselling memoir Lab Girl tells the story of a young woman who finds friendship in odd places, battles bipolar disorder, perseveres through setbacks and relishes hard-earned triumphs, and becomes a respected scientist and passionate observer of the natural world. Called one of the best books of the year by, among others, Entertainment Weekly, Elle, Time, and NPR, the memoir “does for botany what Oliver Sacks’s essays did for neurology, what Stephen Jay Gould’s writings did for paleontology” (The New York Times). It’s “Immediately engrossing and extremely readable” (The Guardian). Cheryl Strayed, bestselling author of the memoir Wild, describes it as “deeply inspiring” and award-winning author Ann Patchett says it “makes me wish I’d been a scientist.” “From the prologue on, a reader itches to call out fun facts to innocents nearby,” writes the Seattle Times. “Jahren writes with such flair that a reviewer is tempted to just move out of the way and quote her.” What is the NEA Big Read? A program of the National Endowment for the Arts, NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. Managed by Arts Midwest, this initiative offers grants to support innovative community reading programs designed around a single book.

She currently holds the J. Tuzo Wilson Professorship at the University of Oslo, Norway. About Lab Girl Lab Girl is a beautifully crafted blend of memoir and science writing wherein Hope Jahren, a renowned research scientist, moves with ease between the wonders and rigors of scientific investigation and the demands and joys that have shaped her personal life. Growing up in rural Minnesota, Jahren spent her happiest hours with her father, who taught physics and earth science at a local community college and gave his daughter free rein in his laboratory after hours. In Lab Girl, Jahren traces her path from an early infatuation with the natural world to her hard-earned triumphs as a scientist recognized for breakthrough contributions to her field. She braids together stories of her emotional and professional challenges, of the bond with her odd and brilliant lab partner who helped her persevere, and descriptions of plant life that, at once lyrical and precise, reveal the unseen processes driving the natural world.

  • 978-1101874936 Hope Jahren's Lab Girl Is a Refreshingl
    Lab Girl by Hope Jahren, Knopf, New York City, 2016, 304 pages, ISBN: 978‐1101874936 Hope Jahren’s Lab Girl is a refreshingly honest and delightfully energetic memoir. Even though I didn’t pursue a career in the sciences, I identified with Jahren’s recollections of running around and playing in her father’s laboratory as a young girl. Jahren has an impressive resume. A geobiologist, she got her undergraduate degree at University of Minnesota and her PhD at the University of California at Berkeley. She has effectively built three laboratories from scratch, at three different universities: Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Jahren really is, as the title of her book suggests, a “lab girl.” Her work, in her own words, is not earth‐shattering or life‐changing. She is a geobiologist after all, not a medical doctor trying to cure cancer or Parkinson’s. Her research is purely curiosity driven—any marketable or profitable side effect of her research is a perk, which makes it that much more difficult to secure funding—a struggle which consumes much of the latter half of the book. Having worked in a number of labs funded by government grants, it certainly put things in perspective to hear about the process from one of the people who actually deals with all of the paperwork and all of the stress. Like most memoirs, Jahren’s begins with her childhood in rural Minnesota, where her father was a professor at the local branch of University of Minnesota. She details her youth, playing under and around and eventually on the benches in her father’s lab—to her, the lab was home.

    Lab Girl by Hope Jahren Class: English 120 (section 06) Professor: Zubeda Jalalzai By: Jocelyn Azulay, Brittany Chito, Sokkim Hout, Alison Lei Date: April 16, 2020 Hope Jahren Early Life • Born September 27th, 1969 • Austin, Minnesota • Three older brothers • Father- Scientist and professor at local community college • Mother- Unable to complete science degree due to finances • "Extension of indestructible mother" • Left high school a year early • University of Minnesota Hope Jahren Education • A Geobiologist • Obtained her undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota, in Chemistry • Completed her PhD at University of California Berkeley, in Soil Science • Moved to Georgia Institute of Technology ( her first research lab) • Then to Johns Hopkins University and University of Hawaii • Currently, she is at the University of Oslo, Norway Science vs. Literature • Science and literature are deeply connected. • Jahren’s mother helped her realize the importance of reading. • Jahren believes words convey the exactness of scientific knowledge. • Jahren’s subconscious made literary connections while she worked. Start with this audio recording first, then continue in order. Science vs. Literature (continued) “Science has taught me that everything is more complicated than we first assume, and that being able to derive happiness from discovery is a recipe for a beautiful life. It has also convinced me that carefully writing everything down is the only real defense we have against forgetting something important that once was and is no more […]” (Jahren, 29). Jahren, Hope. Lab Girl. Knopf. 2016. Women in Science “The difference between us were purely cosmetic: He tall and pale and clean-shaven, thin-almost- gaunt in his khakis and white shirt…….When I was five I also decided that the real me looked exactly like that, even though on the outside I was disguised as a girl.” (Jahren, 17) Sexism in Science “When I was separated from the lab, attending some seminar or conference..........
