opens a new publication to an appeal to the reader of the rector of Skoltekh, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Kuleshov:

“Conversations for life for life " - the largest of the three books. For two years we spoke with the authors, from these conversations we collected a book that includes interviews with both the master and successful young scientists, because biology is a very rapidly developing science, the science of young people to a large extent. Initially, we wanted to make these books interesting not only for specialists, but also for a wide range of readers, including quite distant from science. In my opinion, reading these interviews, you first of all see the author, you understand (or think what you understand), how he thinks, how ideas come, what work in science, the relationship of people in science, their understanding of their mission. ”
