Science

[close] This is a discussion forum for fans of the Brain Science Podcast. The Brain Science Podcast is "for everyone who has a brain;" which hopefully includes YOU. Its goal is to explore how recent discoveries in neuroscience are unraveling the mysteries of how our brains make us who we are. The focus is on the books that have been featured on the Brain Science Podcast, but it is also a great place to share other books about the brain and neuroscience.

[close] Do you like nonfiction? So do we! Every month, we choose a theme, nominate related books, and vote on a group read. Participation is low-pressure; join us when you can - discussion topics remain open even after the month ends. Come as you are, all are welcome!

[close] Books that deserve more love

[close] Welcome to the Annual Nonfiction Reading Challenge! Participants must introduce themselves by April 1 to qualify for the prize drawing. There are 12 categories for the challenge. For each category, read a nonfiction book and share your thoughts in the Discussion Thread for that category. The number of categories you complete will determine the number of entries you receive for the prize drawing. Dates: Challenge will run from 12:01 am on January 1, 2022 - 11:59 pm on December 31, 2022 (use your local time). Books begun before the start date & time DO NOT qualify. Books must be completely read by the end date/time to qualify. A couple of notes: -- Participants must introduce themselves in the Introductions thread by April 1, 2022 to qualify for the prize drawing. -- All books must be nonfiction! -- Children's books are not allowed. -- You may choose any combination of categories to complete. -- Categories can be completed in any order. -- Binge-read or space out your reads - as long as the read dates fall between the challenge dates, the choice is yours. -- Each category may be used only once (to be considered for prize entry). -- Books may be used for one category only. -- Books may not be rereads. Prize Info: One lucky reader will win $20 USD, given via Paypal. After January 2, 2023, I will randomly select winners from all qualified entries. The winners will be contacted via Goodreads and an announcement will be made via this group. Here's to another Happy {Nonfiction} Reading Year!
