I’m off to lie down and read and siesta. I’ve done nothing but socialize and do some iNaturalist identifications this morning. I’m reading “The Bastard Brigade: The True Story of the Renegade Scientists and Spies Who Sabotaged the Nazi Atomic Bomb” (2019) by Sam Kean. I’ve read it before and it’s a bit “how America won WW2”, but interesting for the physics bits.

You might like Hiroshima and Nagasaki by Paul Ham. It’s also a bit “yay America!” and a bit political but the science and scientists are interesting.

Yay America always put me off.
