Algo que ver con la vida es la interesante autobiografía de un científico chileno que realiza su labor de investigación y educación en la segunda mitad del siglo xx y la primera década del siglo xxi. Después de una niñez en Costa Rica, vive en Chile y Estados Unidos, donde desarrolla gran parte de su formación. Le toca vivir y ser actor como investigador y docente en la edad de oro de la Biología, tiempo en que hace amistad con los gigantes que descifraron la estructura del adn y la clave genética. Participa activamente en las investigaciones que aclaran el mecanismo de la síntesis de proteínas y en la aventura de la lectura del genoma humano. Toda su labor se da en el ámbito de la Universidad de Chile, donde participa en la creación de la Facultad de Ciencias, la Reforma de 1968 y la implementación del primer programa de doctorado del país, dirigido por el profesor Hermann Niemeyer en 1971. Ha sido también actor principal en la creación del icbm (Instituto de Ciencias Biomédicas) en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Chile y en la generación de proyectos interdisciplinarios Domeyko en la Vicerrectoría de Investigación y Desarrollo de la misma casa de estudios. El autor finaliza el libro revelándonos brevemente su vida más íntima, aquello que lleva in pectore. 10
