Ben Barres was known for his groundbreaking scientific work and for his groundbreaking advocacy for gender equality in science. In this memoir, completed shortly before his death from pancreatic cancer in December 2017, Barres describes a life full of remarkable accomplishments - from his childhood as a precocious math and science whiz to his experiences as a female student at MIT in the 1970s to his female-to-male transition in his forties, to his scientific work and role as teacher and mentor at Stanford.
