http://projects.metafilter.com/5054/SciBookChat/ Comments on MetaFilter Projects post SciBookChat en-us http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 http://projects.metafilter.com/5054/SciBookChat I've been making some videos about science and books. They're not reviews of science books, but more discussions of things related to how science and scientists are presented in books. For example, in what I retroactively called "season 1" I looked at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6wXblAtrsA&list=PL4jC9oZxwykEGYlj_d_oClsl2szgtA6Kc&index=2">parody science books</a>. I'm now in "season 2", where there'll be a new episode every two weeks until the end of the year. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6wXblAtrsA&list=PL4jC9oZxwykEGYlj_d_oClsl2szgtA6Kc&index=2">first one of the season</a> involved a bookshop tour to discuss different types of non-fiction books, and the next one (November 3) will be about how the representation of scientists in <em>fiction</em> has changed over the years. Specifically: how and why is Frankenstein different from The Martian's Mark Watney? post:projects.metafilter.com,2016:site.5054 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 06:36:47 -0800 easternblot
