Sommario/riassunto |
|
Ellner (emeritus microbiology and pathology, Columbia U.) has testified in over 80 cases, and loves the activity not because it fulfills civil duty or pursues justice, but because it allows him to convince the court that the science he has devoted his life to is true and relevant to the case. He offers advice to others considering the same path, warning that the work is intensive. He focuses on microbiology, that being his specialty, but his experience should apply to most any biomedical scientist. |
