Welcome to Litsy!

This interesting pop sci book is just what I needed this weekend. #NerdVibes 🤓

Greg is a meteorite scientist, and he takes the reader through the history and current study of meteorites. From the early huge impact that formed the moon to modern hunters and prospectors, they have played a large role in the formation of Earth and how we may be able to find rare elements in the future. The #audiobook narration is great!

I‘m a bit of an infectious disease lover, especially zoonotic ones, so this book was absolutely fascinating to me. However, you don‘t need special medical knowledge to enjoy it.

The authors look at diseases from antiquity to now, who were the first cases, plus interesting stories of discoverers and survivors. From modern diseases like Ebola, HIV, and Covid-19 to older ones like leprosy, ergotism, and smallpox. #NerdVibes 🤓

Available on #Scribd @Megabooks #SuperExcited #NerdVibes Just started but my favorite type of non fiction - written for a casual reader. 🎧

Small #NewReleaseTuesday this week. Contreras‘ book looks into the ACLU case against the company trying to patent the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. It‘s sad that science has become so commercialized. Looking forward to this nerdy read. #NerdVibes 🤓

Next week there are four books on Tuesday, so keep your eyes peeled! Have a great day!

Ridiculously excited to sit down with this one! NBC favorite Kornacki discusses the era that made me an American-concentration poli sci major: the 90s. (Also when I happened to be an undergrad! 😉) serious #NerdVibes tonight! 🤓

Pinker blends philosophy, sociology, probability, and statistics to explain why people do and don‘t act rationally. He looks at classic game theory questions, logical fallacies, Bayesian reasoning, and more to paint a picture of part of the human condition. I liked how he blended theory with practical application of it, and the last chapter was 🔥! Some serious #NerdVibes from this #audiobook. 🤓
