Haven‘t got to do a little reading date for myself in quite some time. And this book is bringing back my hunger for books that I lost sometime at the start of summer. It‘s supposed to be #backtohogwarts for me but I‘m running late to school if you know what I mean.

Avoiding my other schoolwork responsibilities by reading this book for class.... 🤷‍♀️ I‘m still technically doing homework right?

wanderinglynn That‘s a lot of tabs! 😂 what is the class you‘re reading it for? 5y
Schnoebs @wanderinglynn It‘s a current issues in science, technology and environmental policy course. I have a to write a summary on my thoughts of it at the end of each book. I have a tendency of highlighting a lot in the scientific articles I read but I just can‘t do that with books so I tab them lol 5y
wanderinglynn Ah, I understand. I have problems marking up books too. But the class sounds interesting. I‘m an environmental attorney, so dealing with environmental policy is a part of my job. And of course, there are huge overlaps with science & tech. 👍🏻 5y

Schnoebs @wanderinglynn that‘s so interesting!!! Is there a specific focus you have??? I‘m currently working on research on equity and affordability concerns for access to drinking water. 5y
wanderinglynn I work for the US government (currently the Dept of the Navy). So my focus has been mostly on water and one hot topic is PFAS, which among other things is found in firefighting foam. It‘s not currently a listed toxin with the EPA, but many states are looking into it. 5y
wanderinglynn The PFAS chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body—meaning they don‘t break down and they can accumulate over time. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. So the Navy is trying to get ahead of state regulation & develop policy on the use & potential cleanup of PFAS. 5y
Schnoebs @wanderinglynn so are you guys focused primarily on just looking into potential levels in regulations or are you guys also looking into alternative sources that can be used for the foam? 5y
wanderinglynn Both. 5y

Frankenstein | Mary W Shelly

While this was an assigned book for my Eng Comp class it wasn‘t a terrible read. I did like learning the true origins of the creature and Frankenstein, and could relate to some parts as well.
Although some of the LENGTHY descriptions of the setting and the flowery language often times bored me.

We had to pick two assignments this week for class readings and I decided to pick the first 30 pages of this book. It‘s one that I‘ve read a while ago and really truly enjoyed. I just recently found out that she has other short books as well. Can‘t wait to start reading more from her!

Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

Pickpick

This was a book I read for class, and I‘m so glad my professor assigned it. It was an overall gripping read, that had me wanting to find out more about Chris from start to finish. I was fascinated by both him as a person and his quest in the wilderness. If you want a relatively short work of non-fiction to read, this is an awesome pick.

4/5 ⭐️

Five day holiday starts today.

Too bad I️ have four papers to write. Also finishing up this book. Not the worst thing I‘ve been assigned to read.

Reading outside in this cooler weather.
