Learn Science at Scitable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Summer is here and with it has come a few hot months,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], perfect for lounging in the sun and holding backyard barbeques. Lemonade and iced tea stands spring up along the street curbs of developments,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and scarcely a Monday goes by where you don't see a newly tanned neighbor standing in her driveway emptying sneakers and beach bags of wayward sand grains. If you're not too busy flagging down ice cream trucks (and anything like me a lab rat waiting out long incubation periods in air conditioning),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then you have some free time on your hands. What's on the summer science reading list? While I don't usually find myself curling up with the latest Neal Stephenson novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], here are some of my favorites you might enjoy too:
Ender's Game (1985) by Orson Scott Card
Juvenile? Definitely not. While many of you probably read Ender's Game when you were still in middle school,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I have found throughout the years that it is one novel that never gets old. Not to mention,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], corrupt military governments,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Lord of the Flies-band of children,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and aliens what's not to like?
Never Let Me Go (2005) by Kazuo Ishiguro
A different type of dystopian novel from Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Never Let Me Go follows the lives of three children as they grow up at the mysterious Hailsham Boarding School. A lone bioterrorist engineers "Cobra,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," a new virus that is as contagious as the common cold but far more lethal. What happens when a series of mysterious deaths start plaguing a community? Read and find out!
Omnivore's Dilemma (2006) by Michael Pollan
Have you ever wondered where your food comes from? Whether you walk to Whole Foods,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], drive your Hummer to the grocery store down the street,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or get most of your vegetables from a garden in your backyard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Pollan puts your food in context for you. How do seeds in the ground turn into supper on the table? Something to gnaw on . . .
Intuition (2006) by Allegra Goodman
So this isn't science fiction per se,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it is a neat and eerily accurate look into the social and political life of the laboratory. If you have never worked in a lab before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prepare for a glimpse of a scientific community just as complicated as the molecules and experiments that dominate it. And if you have,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you might just find this novel's dramatic relationships between lab directors and postdocs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and amongst the postdocs themselves resonating with your own experiences and observations.
