• Haynes, Roslynn (2014) Whatever happened to the "mad, bad" scientist? Overturning the stereotype.. In: Public Understanding of Science

Abstract

A young cancer researcher in a London academic institute gets involved with a beautiful colleague in a biotech firm who discovers that her company is planning a clinical trial of the virus-based vaccine she developed without doing the preliminary animal tests. This romantic thriller pits the "mad scientist" from the corporate world against the all-too-human scientists in a realistically portrayed modern research lab. (FMS Gaines)
