[close] Hi and welcome to The Pedantic Zebra. The quarterly book club (audio or text) where we learn alongside each other about illness, disability, systemic injustice, the treatment of women in medicine & medical history. - A weekly jist/a few points will be shared on our social media for accessibility (Twitter/BlueSky@longcovidadvoc - Insta @longcovidadvoc8) #pedanticzebra - We have a listen/read along session at 8 pm on Friday to build community - One book every three months - Knowledge is power, so let's collaborate to know our history and know our context. Our book for Dec-Feb is 'Mind the Science' by Jonathan Stea. #pedanticzebra for updates on social media Why Zebras? Because of this common medical aphorism, which has led to the dismissal of many zebras: “When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra.” This book club is hosted by Long Covid Advocacy: https://www.longcovidadvoc.com/ Indie Bookshops: DISABILITY JUSTICE BOOKSHOP - NIGHTLIGHT https://bookshop.org/shop/nightlight_books
