You Must be Very Intelligent is the author's account of studying for a PhD in a modern successful university. Part-memoir and part-exposé this book is highly entertaining and unusually revealing about the dubious morality and desperate behaviour which underpins competition in twenty-first century academia. This witty warts-and-all account of Bodewits´ years as a PhD student in the august University of Edinburgh is full of success and failure passion and pathos insight farce and warm-hearted disillusionment. She describes a world of collaboration and backstabbing nefarious financing and wasted genius cosmopolitan dreamers and discoveries that might just change the world...
