When We Cease to Understand the World
Benjamin LabatutI recently read Benjamín Labatut's new book "When We Cease to Understand the World" and it is easily the best book I've read this year. It's a series of fictionalized chapters about major scientific discoveries. Vox had a great podcast episode about it. https://overcast.fm/+qXyVmTboI https://t.co/3UqicOIlff

Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor
Lynda BarryI loved "Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor" by Lynda Barry. I teach courses related to science, information literacy, & research but this book (whose focus is art/drawing) opened my mind to so many new ideas for my courses. Highly recommended for my fellow instructors. https://t.co/RngvTcPBtw
