2. That's an excellent book. I saw Siddartha Mukherjee speak at a keynote a few years back at AAPS.

He's a very talented speaker, as I recall, as well as a scientist, and his remarks on melanoma (including a case study with a colleague that made me think) in particular stuck in my mind, but what really sticks in my mind was the very informal way he dressed and looked, like he just crawled out of bed, which perhaps he did.

It enhanced the talk to my mind, rather than detracted from it.

He acts and talks like a human being, which of course, he is, a remarkable human being, but a human being all the same.

The Emperor of All Maladies in an excellent book. I highly recommend it.
