'The stem cell discoveries made by Till and McCulloch are milestone moments in medical research. That more Canadians don't know about Jim and 'Bun' and celebrate their achievements remains a huge oversight. Theirs is an amazing story, and Joe Sornberger, who makes complicated science compellingly readable, tells it wonderfully well.' -- Alain Beaudet, President of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research
