Her first book might have been a revelatory treatise on plant life. Lab Girl is that, but it is also so much more.

    There are about as many leaves on one tree as there are hairs on your head. It’s really impressive.

    Can you imagine growing up in a culture where you can never ask anyone anything about themselves? Where “How are you?” is considered a personal question that one is not obligated to answer? Where you are trained to always wait for others to first mention what is troubling them, even as you are trained to never mention what is troubling you? It must be a survival skill left over from the old Viking days, when long silences were required to prevent unnecessary homicides during the long, dark winters when quarters were close and supplies were dwindling
