Reviews"This book clearly lays out guidelines for those making the transition from their training and bench work as graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to running their own labs. Written in a straightforward style, the book provides vital information needed to avoid common mistakes and get off to a good start. . . . The chapter "Choose Your People" was particularly telling. Advice about the hiring process is covered comprehensively. . . . What surprised me most about the book was that it was not just a list of basic management mantras. Each chapter in At the Helm includes anonymous voices from many researchers around the country expressing candid opinions, anecdotes and ideas. These quotes include real solutions to some of the unusual problems that one might encounter as a new principal investigator. . . . I believe experienced managers will also find some useful advice in it to help keep their labs running smoothly."
