pick“The Selfish Gene” by Richard Dawkins, discusses and explains the selfishness of genes in their goals of survival and repopulation. At the start of the book, Richard Dawkins brings up the theory of the primordial soup — the origin of life, where life forms were first able to rise by feeding on the organic material within the primordial soup. Despite being simple microscopic creatures, competition between them was still very imminent.
pickThe book “The Selfish Gene”, created by Richard Dawkins, is an award winning book about the understanding of natural selection and evolution. Richard Dawkins explains and describes how genes could be both selfish and altruistic, while providing basic context behind the information to better help the reader understand. The book is packed with knowledge about evolution and natural selection, even going as far as explaining life from the start.

pickI was recently (after several years of illness) diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome. Afrin is the doctor who first described it, and I‘m really glad my doc recommended this. Because mast cells can release over 200 different mediators when they‘re activated, the syndrome can look very different patient to patient. If you or a loved one has been lingering with strange symptoms, I highly recommend reading this before your next appointment!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed most of this book about the discoveries and scientists behind CRISPR gene editing technology. The author uses Dr. Doudna as a way into the story but it really wasn‘t about her. It got bogged down a bit in repeating the ethical arguments for and against using the technology and in what cases it‘s appropriate, but overall it was really interesting.

My husband read The Code Breaker & loved it. Of course for me it‘s a #TBR
The graphic novel of Hilma of Klint is wonderful!

Comment below if you would like this copy of A Crack in Creation by Jennifer Doudna, one of the scientists who won the Nobel Prize for gene editing with CRISPR. If multiple people request it, I‘ll hold a drawing to determine the winner on Sept 16.
