Self-Doubt: An Anthology of Experiences in the Biomedical Sciences

Self-doubt is an occupational hazard of science.

The training to constantly question ourselves drives great discoveries, while also quietly feeding anxiety and self-criticism.

This important book collects personal stories from biomedical scientists across a broad set of career stages. Their experiences differ, but what unites them is the shared experience of the whisper of self-doubt.

These poignant stories are written for the young scientist suffering a crisis of confidence. The tales range from inspiring to heart-wrenching, but most of all the message they send is:

You are not alone in your self-doubt.
