Totally Amazing Careers in Health Sciences

This book features twelve engaging biographies of living women and men working in health sciences from biochemists and epidemiologists to neurosurgeons, nutritionists, and more. These remarkable scientists and healthcare providers shared their stories with us and provided us with personal photographs. They describe what they do, how they got into it, and why they enjoy it. Next to each biography there are fun activities to do related to each career (crossword puzzles, word jumbles, things to do or wonder about). This book conveys the excitement of health sciences and the wide variety of careers available. It also prompts young readers to think about the things they like to do and possible health sciences careers.
