Science

[close] Accessible, fun to read books about Science topics. Readings and discussions are organized into curated "series" of 3-6 reads. This allows us to delve deeply into each topic category. No worries about keeping up with the group; start anywhere you like. Also, feel free to browse the cross-categorized bookshelf (see link on the right). And if you're looking for a budget read, don't miss the 'kindle-unlimited' and 'under-10-bucks' shelves! Suggestions welcome! Happy Discovering!

[close] Este grupo es bilingüe (inglés y español) / This is a bilingual group (English & Spanish) [English below] Somos un grupo de hispano- y angloparlantes a quienes nos gusta leer libros de divulgación científica. Todos venimos de áreas distintas (y por lo menos la mitad de nosotros, nada relacionado con ciencias), pero compartimos el interés por la ciencia y queremos tener la oportunidad de conversar sobre nuestras lecturas con gente afín. Ej. de autores que podríamos elegir: Bill Bryson, Richard Dawkins, Oliver Sacks, Carl Zimmer, etc. Ej. de libros: La vida inmortal de Henrietta Lacks, Una breve historia de casi todo, El emperador de todos los males: una biografía del cáncer, Mala ciencia, etc. Si te interesa, bienvenido/a seas. Por ahora estoy tratando de ver cómo organizarnos, para lo que probablemente necesitaré input. == We are a group of people who enjoy reading pop science books.

In the meantime I'm trying to figure out how to organise ourselves, for which I'll probably need some input.
