I've decided to start choosing a book each month for people to read along with me, in the hope that we can start some interesting discussions here on Goodreads. We'll start in January 2019 and you'll have the month to read the chosen book (Losing the Nobel Prize by Dr. Brian Keating) and post your thoughts to this discussion thread. You can post your thoughts at any time as soon as you finish the book. This book club will be very casual and is meant to promote a community of science readers, so invite your Goodreads friends!
About this month's book: I discovered Dr. Brian Keating through Twitter and his website, where I read his article "There's Nothing Noble About Science's Nobel Prize Gender Gap" and knew I would have to read his book. Dr. Keating generously agreed to a book giveaway through readmorescience.com, and I am excited to offer one lucky reader a copy of his book. As always, by signing up for the monthly newsletter through the website, you'll have a chance to win the book (in case you don't buy a copy for this month's book club).
I'm looking forward to reading Dr. Keating's book along with you! The prompt for this month's discussion is as follows: Do you think we should temporarily postpone the Nobel Prize in order to address the gender gap? If not, how do you think we could better promote inclusivity?
