There Are (No) Stupid Questions ... in Science (ePub)

Leah Elson draws upon her wildly popular web series, 60 Seconds of Science, for an irreverent debut that answers all sorts of scientific questions-from the age-old to the ridiculous to the sublime-posed by her fans around the world.

There Are (No) Stupid Questions ... in Science was born from Leah's popular web series, 60 Seconds of Science, wherein her avid followers, from all around the world, suggest topics to be explained within sixty seconds.

In the vein of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You: A Guide to Self-Diagnosis for Hypochondriacs by Jen Bilik, There Are (No) Stupid Questions ... in Science provides easy-to-understand and delightfully cheeky explanations for scientific and medical quandaries, and is appropriate for everyone from those with no prior scientific knowledge to colleagues in the scientific field.

Leah Elson has been obsessed with the sciences since childhood, pursuing her lifelong passion through premedical sciences at Harvard University, a graduate education in biotechnology at Johns Hopkins University, and a second graduate degree in biostatistics and epidemiology from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. She recently entered her fourteenth year as an academically published medical researcher. Currently, Leah has more than eighty-seven published manuscripts and supplements, over one thousand indexed citations from other published investigators around the world, and an active scientific profile on ResearchGate, where her published manuscripts generate two to three thousand reads per week.
