Not finished yet. Genome- Matt Ridley. The guy knows how to take a "dry" subject and spin a nice story around the central subject. Was recommended by Naval Ravikant on the Shane Parrish's Knowledge Project podcast. Makes even more sense to me now that I actually work for a NGS company.
- WheelsAtLarge 9y agoThis was one of Mark Zuckerberg's book recommendations. It's a great book to get a basic understanding of the Genome. I read most of the books he recommended and all gave me a new view of the world. I've since changed my view of him. Facebook was not an accident. He truly is a deep thinker and understands what it takes to move Facebook forward.
- yesenadam 9y agoTry Sapolsky's incredible 25-or-so-part online lectures on Biology of Human Behavior. A great lecturer on a most fascinating subject, it's accessible to a general audience. Covers the topic on all different levels, scales, approaches, from evolutionary psychology to the minutiae of brains and genes, with a lot of stories about the discoveries and researchers involved, and jokes, he's a funny guy. Best course I've ever done. Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA
