When We Cease to Understand the World
Benjamin Labatut
I 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 Barry
I 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
