Screensavers and Proteins Part 2

February 27, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

‘I can type because there are proteins that help me do it.’ That’s what I wrote several days ago. Then I took you on a journey that included workstations, screensavers and medical research.

Which is the best? Could it be The Selfish Gene? Or perhaps The Periodic Table? Maybe The Emperor of All Maladies? Or Factfulness?

So I thought a web search would help remind me of some that I have read. Where better to start than the annual Royal Society Prizes for Science Books?
