What can we learn when we follow people over the years and across the course of their professional lives? This book asks this question specifically about scientists and answers it here by tracking fifty-five physicists through different stages of their careers at a variety of universities across the country.

Trade Review
"Hermanowicz offers a rich, textured, nuanced look into the shifting worlds of American academic science, the key institutions in which it comes to be and the lives of the people who bring it into being. Lives in Science will be important and exciting for scholars concerned with academic or scientific careers and the sociology of knowledge and education." - Anna Neumann, Teachers College, Columbia University"
