Synopsis
SCIENTIFIC TEMPERAMENTS explores in detail the private and professional lives of three scientists and shows how the personality and individual style of each one influence not only his work, but often the course of an entire branch of science as well. Each a key figure in his field, the scientists profiled here are: Robert Wilson, Mark Ptashne, and John McCarthy. SCIENTIFIC TEMPERAMENTS is a unique and absorbing inquiry into the ways of science and the ways of the scientist. The result is a new perspective that reveals how science, far from being an objective and impersonal search for the truth, is very much the product of the people engaged in it.
