I've been hoodwinked too many times by well-reviewed pop-sci books which I later discovered to be hated by the actual scientists who do the work. Quantum Supremacy by Michio Kaku was the final straw ๐Ÿ˜†

As an immunologist I absolutely love the book Immune by Philip Dettmer (the guy behind kurzgesagt)

  • I just finished Immune recently and it's absolutley brilliant for non-scientists! The way Dettmer uses metaphors and visualizations makes complex immune concepts actually stick in your brain, unlike most pop-sci that oversimplifies to the point of being wrong. Been listening to it again on my soundleaf app during commutes.
