“Yes to you healthy, yes to you sick, yes to you blooming, and yes to you stricken.” - The Modern Moose, Amy Leach

Amy Stewart assembled a wonderful collection of science reporting where the narrative is just as important as the science behind it. Many of these pieces show how we have seriously impacted the planet and environment and at least four pieces specific to issues affecting women. (And yes, the Oliver Sacks piece made me cry)

If you did not read this two-part article when it originally appeared in The NY Times, this is a must-read (Part Two, which has more science/medicine is included in this collection, Part One deals more with the cultural and immigration issues surrounding these salons). It will make you think twice about the ethics of certain nail salons.

Bravo Amy Stewart for including this excellent reporting on the expanding field of autism research in girls and women. #science

I immediately thought of @Liberty and @rebeccaschinsky (for reasons 😜😜 - the essay is super-good, too, and I hope HMH sent them review copies)

Y'all, Amy Stewart wrote the best introduction to an @hmhbooks Science and Nature volume I have ever read. And the range of topics and writing styles she has chosen...this is going to be a fantastic collection (and I've read a few of these pieces when they originally published and SPOT ON selections). #bestamerican

💗💗💗 for my favorite dude. I am going to cry when I get to that essay, I just know it. 😭 #bestamerican
