Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention--And How to Think Deeply Again
Johann HariJente Ottenburghs | Avian Hybrids 🦆🧬The book "Stolen Focus" by Johann Hari has been a real eye-opener. Especially, the role of social media in our inability to focus is staggering. 😐 I decided to limit on my Twitter-use. I will continue to share my blog posts and interesting papers, but I will be less active. https://t.co/qDUkEUDp73

Rewilding: The Radical New Science of Ecological Recovery: The Illustrated Edition
Paul JepsonJente Ottenburghs | Avian Hybrids 🦆🧬I am currently reading "Rewilding" by Paul Jepson & Cain Blythe. A very balanced and interesting explanation of this concept. However, I would not call rewilding itself science. Although it uses ecological theories, it is mainly an approach. Perhaps science-based rewilding? https://t.co/WV7tC8QNq1

Neuromancer
William GibsonJente Ottenburghs | Avian Hybrids 🦆🧬I am currently reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. This science fiction novel is seen as one of the first books in the cyberpunk genre. However, I am finding it very difficult to understand and follow the story. Any recommendations for other cyberpunk books?

Zoonomia: Volume 2: Or, the Laws of Organic Life
Erasmus DarwinJente Ottenburghs | Avian Hybrids 🦆🧬She states that "Natural selection had many fathers, including Darwin’s own grandfather, Erasmus." This is not true. Erasmus played around with the idea of evolution in his writings (Zoonomia), but he did not offer a mechanism./3 https://t.co/oEyti0IKfu
