Hi all!
Summer is here and I'm always looking for new books to read. I recently picked up 'The Craft of Science Writing' and have been contemplating what makes science accessible and engaging to a general audience. It feels particularly important to understand how to narrate the story of science right now in a time when narratives counter to science are spreading. Popular science books like 'Everything is Tuberculosis' or 'I Contain Multitudes' really nail science storytelling, making complex topics engaging for audiences that likely have no prior background in the subject. I always want to learn more about what makes science stories work, and I'd love to know what your favorite popular science book is and why you think it's great!
