1. A Lab of One's Own: You've all heard me reference this book several times on my blog, so it should be no surprise that my number 1 science book choice is A Lab of One's Own By: Rita Colwell. If you want to learn about women's experience in science from the 1960s until 2019, this is the book for you! Filled with determination, inspiration, and a fascinating look into leadership in science, I couldn't recommend it enough. Rita Colwell has become one of my idols!

2. Sharon Moalem's Survival of the Sickest was thought provoking and exciting! Based on different theories and research studies, Dr. Moalem explores a different disease in each chapter and discusses why sometimes disease can be a double edge sword, both providing a protection and damage to the body.

3. The Love Hypothesis: Relatable, hilarious, and a super fun read! Check out this STEM Romance novel!

4. The Curie Society: An adorable book showcasing girls exploring science!

5. Medical Bondage: An honest book discussing the horrors of the origins of gynecology that brutally harmed women who were slaves.  I found this an important read exposing a very dark part of medical history.

6. Ali Hazelwood is soo good that two books get on this list!! I LOVED Love on the Brain! I found it ridiculously relatable while also finding a new book boyfriend. Would recommend for a fun science read! In fact, my fiancé and I recently took engagement photos with her books!
