This month we offer a book discussion on Breathless: the scientific race to defeat a deadly virus by David Quammen (2022) Breathless is a “gripping” (The Atlantic) but “clear-eyed analysis” (Time) of SARs-CoV-2 and its fierce journey through the human population, as seen by the scientists who study its origin, its ever-changing nature, and its capacity to kill us.
Registration is suggested. Multiple copies of this title are available for check out in the library.
Marc Zimmer, professor of chemistry, Connecticut College, will lead this discussion.
