About the Author

Rebecca Nesbit grew up in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. In 2005, she graduated from the University of Durham with an honours degree in biology. Her PhD was based at Rothamsted Research, Herts., where she studied butterfly migration. Her interest in the environment began as a young child, but during her time at Rothamsted she became interested in sustainable agriculture, especially the complex social and environmental issues surrounding genetically modified crops. She now works in science communication in London. This is her first book.

Reviews

How refreshing to read a book where scientists are real people! ... Nesbit captures the excitement of research, the spirit of those that do it and the terrible things that can happen to people when naked ambition trumps scientific judgement... --Prof. Adam Hart, ecologist, professor of science communication and presenter of BBC s Planet Ant Series; ------- I enjoyed 'A column of Smoke'. You feel for Sally as she finds herself in a sort of no-man's land in an awkward state of decision in both her relationship and her scientific career. The characters are well thought out and have a depth that emerges throughout the novel as you learn more about them. The science permeates the book and gives a good backdrop for the story as it unfolds; showing the excitement of cutting edge research, but also the mundaneness of the repetitive procedures scientists must go through when collecting their data. -- Sarah Cox, The Biologist
