L.A.B. R.A.T.S. Science Book Club

Let's Actually Begin Reading About the Sciences (LAB RATS)! Hosted by professional geo-nerds, this is a science book club for the curious who want to explore the mechanics of our world without the dry textbooks. Each quarter (for now), we tackle a new scientific frontier through engaging narratives, ranging from histories and biographies to investigative journalism, personal essays, and beyond. We keep the structure flexible: each meeting features a primary non-fiction selection to ground the topic, plus two optional deep-dive reads: a secondary non-fiction work and a complimentary fiction selection. Feel free to read one, two, all three, or none and just come for the conversation! This is a space to explore the physical and biological world through great storytelling. (18+) We haven't yet set up a virtual meet time, but if there's enough interest we will make it happen!
