About the Book: I Told You So! by Matt Kaplan explores the stories of scientists whose groundbreaking discoveries were ridiculed, suppressed, ignored or punished before eventually being proven right. From Galileo and Darwin to Ignaz Semmelweis and Nobel Prize winner Katalin Karikó, Kaplan examines how ego, institutional politics, funding systems and resistance to new ideas can hinder scientific progress. Combining fascinating scientific history with contemporary examples, this engaging work of popular science reveals the human side of research and makes a compelling case for reforming the systems that shape scientific discovery.
