I tend to read science, all kinds, when I read nonfiction. Tagged a book that I hope to fit in for #ReadingAfrica2022.
Science fascinates me. I think the average person has a very bad understanding of what science is and how much it knows. I know I do. Science does not have the best Chief Communications Officer. 😄 And communicating complicated scientific concepts takes hella writing skills.

DrexEdit @ozma.of.oz David Quammen wrote another book I thought was really good. I read it a couple of years ago but it's the only reason I have understood COVID from a virus standpoint, how it works, why it mutates, where it might go next.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
