Synopsis

Few have been as privileged as Dr. Robert Stevenson to see science and medicine shift and change over the decades. As a gay man juggling his career ambitions with the ups and downs of his personal life, Dr. Stevenson emerges with a unique perspective and insight into science and the world beyond. From his childhood experience of the Great Depression to the lab benches of Ohio State University, and then to the boardrooms of esteemed organizations, Test Tubes to Boardrooms: A Gay Scientist’s Journey from the Lab Bench to Policy Making tells the story of a truly fascinating life.

Inside, you’ll find Dr. Stevenson’s firsthand account and personal thoughts on:

  • The challenging undertaking of creating a common pool of materials to benefit medical research

  • Traveling around the world to collaborate with scientists of all stripes

  • Summer at the gay resort colony of Cherry Grove, New York, in the 1950s

  • Investigating the miraculous claims of a medical clinic that transplanted animal cells into patients

  • Years of leadership in the National Institutes of Health, Litton Industries, and American Type Culture Collection, among other major organizations, including the Tissue Culture Association, where he was an incorporator and later Presiden

  • And much more, spanning 50 unforgettable years.

In a series of self-written anecdotes, Dr. Stevenson reminisces on his illustrious career and unique life experiences in this witty, thoughtful, and deeply touching memoir.
