Abstract

As young technologists, we often start our careers searching for mentors or role models who can guide us as we navigate our career choices. As mentees, we often do not have insights into our mentors’ background and history—and thus may not appreciate the source of the wisdom they impart. The importance of mentorship is just one of many lessons learned from the life and career of Mildred “Millie” Dresselhaus described in Carbon Queen by Mia Weinstock. The book is a very readable account of an amazing individual whose life and career can be an inspiration to many aspiring scientists and engineers—particularly women. The book mixes the human side of Millie’s story and manages to weave in a few understandable technical principles that help the reader understand her contributions to the scientific community.
碳女王:纳米科学先驱米尔德里德-德雷斯豪斯-米娅-温斯托克的非凡人生》(美国马萨诸塞州剑桥:麻省理工学院出版社,2023 年,320 页)。
作为年轻的技术人员,我们在开始职业生涯时往往会寻找能够指导我们进行职业选择的导师或榜样。作为被指导者,我们往往无法深入了解导师的背景和历史,因此可能无法理解他们所传授的智慧的来源。米娅-温斯托克(Mia Weinstock)在《碳皇后》(Carbon Queen)一书中描述了米尔德里德-德雷斯豪斯(Mildred "Millie" Dresselhaus)的生活和职业生涯,导师的重要性只是从她的生活和职业生涯中学到的众多经验之一。这本书以可读性很强的方式介绍了一位了不起的人物,她的生活和职业生涯可以激励许多有抱负的科学家和工程师,尤其是女性。该书将米莉故事中人性的一面与一些易懂的技术原理相结合,帮助读者理解她对科学界的贡献。
