This one sounds really interesting.
I think this counts as biology, even if it is a bit weird and scary: Germs Biological Weapons and America's Secret War.
Hello everyone,
I am an engineer in CA. I studied math, physics, and astronomy/cosmology in college. I love science, mostly those topics mentioned above (plus the history of them), but have lately been focused on reading fiction. I'm excited to be in the group and learning about scientific topics again!
How long are you going to keep the poll open, William?
Thanks, William!
I would be willing to participate in a joint read. Any science topic will work for me, really.
You know, there is a book that I've been eyeing: Physics for Future Presidents The Science Behind the Headlines by Richard A. Muller. Muller teaches a physics class that is targeted to students who know no physics. Check it out; it might be one to consider for a group read.
Ooh, I love science history. Very cool.

"Blink" is about the unconscious processing that goes on in our minds during the first glimpses of something or someone. Then I think it will discuss the quality of judgements made based on that processing (aka "hunches"). I'm currently only about 20 pages in, but I can let you know what I think as I go.
Right now I'm reading Blink The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. Does that count as "science"? Has anyone else read it?
Ok, good. I was happy to see this group existed, but was worried when I noticed that there was no activity recently. Thanks for responding, William!
I just joined the group and I'm wondering if it's still active. I see that there hasn't been any activity since October...is anyone out there?
