This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I actually bought their Immune System book, just cause I've enjoyed their stuff for so long. I remember those stupid little birds over a decade ago, and the book serves a little more purpose than their general merch. It's also really well illustrated. Haven't had the time to read it yet, as it's pretty lengthy and sorta dry as a "scientific" immune system picture book should sorta be, lol.
Also, awesome your brother got referenced! That's pretty sweet
The immune system is extremely cool and fascinating.
its a fantastic game of cat and mouse thats been playing out for hundreds of millions of years.
did you see that recent article about immunity 'hidden' DNA... it doesnt exist until an external entity triggers RNA to create it?? freakin amazing!
I've read it and listened to the audiobook and it really is great. Yes there are some dry parts but they bring their signature flare to helping to understand which makes getting through it a lot easier.
That's what I imagined it would be, it's just the act of starting it that is difficult for me. I'm on the 2nd book in 3 Body Problem and I can't bring myself to start it, despite really enjoying the 1st one. And from what I've seen, the 2nd is better than the 1st lol
