One vestige of my former career as a
geneticist happily lingers into this year of passaggio: I am the Interviews
Editor for an open access journal, PLoS
Genetics. I had suggested to my
co-editors that we run the occasional book column with recommendations for good
reads in and around genetics, and I also volunteered to write the first
one. We set a target date in anticipation
of the holiday book-giving season, and then I was actually forced to set down a
few lines about my favorite books in the science genre. The column should appear in early December,
and I’ll be curious to see if anyone out there in cyberspace will be inspired
to pick up one of my choices and share in my joy. Or perhaps whether I'll be skewered because his or her favorite book isn't on the list.
