Dead Ends to Somewhere
The story of a vaccine to save over 500,000 of the world’s children each year from rotavirus. Raised on a Montana ranch, Dick Ward was an unlikely candidate to become an eminent virologist.Yet, despite a less than stellar early academic career, the author's innate competitive spirit helped him redirect what he learned through life to accomplish something deeply important.The myriad mishaps encountered during his search for a meaningful personal, religious and scientific life provide familiar, often funny, if not uncomfortable, touchstones to which each of us can relate.
Praise and Reviews
"I recently completed Dead Ends to Somewhere, and enjoyed it so much. Given his rocky start in school, his discoveries and accomplishments are truly awesome and amazing and should serve as an inspiration to any budding scientists who encounter dead ends, too.Related Links
