About the book What Every Science Student Should Know is a guidebook distilled from the authors' own experiences as recent science graduates as well as through interviews with over 100 other successful science graduates. Its content aims to increase enthusiasm for and commitment to the study of the sciences in college. Chapters include the following: * Chapter 1: Welcome to the World of College Science * Chapter 2: How to Manage College Life * Chapter 3: How to Excel in Your STEM Courses * Chapter 4: Choosing a STEM Major * Chapter 5: Conducting Scientific Research * Chapter 6: Beyond Your Bachelor's Degree * Chapter 7: STEM in the Real World * Chapter 8: In Conclusion * Appendix: Advise for Underrepresented Students in STEM Book reviews and publicity United States Darcell Brown of the Oakland Press writes that "The book describes strategies for excelling in rigorous college science courses and laboratory sections, selecting a major and how to conduct scientific and biomedical research. It also provides resources to find awards and scholarship opportunities and descibes the path to graduate and professional schools along with other career choices selected by those with STEM degrees." Lyndra Vassar of the American Medical Association writes in the AMA Wire that the authors "wanted to address students’ waning interest in the sciences and remind them why it’s actually a fulfilling field of study, brimming with exciting opportunities—not just defined by tests and lab reports." The Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science published a review of the book in its Winter 2016 edition (Vol XVIII, No. 2). The Dartmouth Alumni Magazine listed this book in its March-April bimonthly issue, which compiles books published by Dartmouth College alumni. The Korea Times, a newspaper based in Seattle, WA, published an article about the book and co-author Yoo Jung Kim. The Korea Times writes "This book is a tutorial of the 'STEM' fields, specifically science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The authors advise students in college or university on how to succeed in their classes and how to choose STEM majors, encourages students to do research, and offers students tips on how to receive awards for their work. Knowledge imparted by the book can be employed successfully after graduating from college as well, as a full guide to the senior year and next steps is included." Korea The Yonhap News Agency, South Korea's largest news agency, published an article about the book and co-author Yoo Jung Kim. Yonhap News Agency writes (loosely translated) that the book is "for juniors and seniors in high school hoping to major in STEM fields in college and be successful."
