Excellent! "Testosterone Rex: Unmaking the Myths of Our Gendered Minds" is well worth the read, and hopefully this prize will keep this book out on the front table...........As well as providing Cordelia with some readies.

I'm so pleased, I really liked this book when I read it, and would encourage others to read it too. The fact that the Royal Society saw fit to award it a prize should (hopefully) help to fend off the inevitable 'she doesn't know the science' jibes from the traditionalists and TRAs.
