About this episode
Brandon Taylor's story has a happy ending. Today he's a successful writer whose debut novel 'Real Life' received glowing reviews earlier this year. But his success only underscores what science lost when Brandon walked away from a graduate biochemistry program in 2016. He tells host Maddie Sofia why he left, and what he misses. Read his essay in BuzzFeed, 'Working In Science Was A Brutal Education. That's Why I Left.' Find and support your local public radio station at donate.npr.org/short .
