Reviews for Tissue Culture in Science and Society: The Public Life of a Biological Technique in Twentieth Century Britain (Science, Technology and Medicine in Modern History)
"This is a widely significant and ambitious volume notwithstanding its small size and seemingly esoteric subject matter...The book joins a small but important literature that deals with the space shared between laboratory scientists with their disciplinary concerns and the wider public sphere." - Robert Budd, American Historical Review
