For me, having the opportunity to be nestled in a chair, cozy and warm, with a book and hot drink, is the perfect winter activity when snowy winds are howling around your house.

If you find yourself today with gift cards that you want to spend on stories, but you need some suggestions, here’s a list of books that I’m either looking forward to reading, or have read and find inspirational or influential for science, health and research.

At the time (2004-2005), it seemed there were few resources for seeking non-academic careers post-dissertation, or even reassurances that this was not, in fact, a Very Bad Idea
