Books mentioned, in the order they came up
-
Rabid
Rabid by Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy is a comprehensive non-fiction book that explores the extensive history of the study of the rabies virus.
Recommended“But what I find amazing about the rabies virus—and there's a great book by the way called 'Rabid,' which is essentially a history of the study of rabies—is that once it travels from the site of the bite up to the brain, what does it do?”
-
The Wisdom of the Body
Discussed“I once read a very elegant paper by Walter Cannon, a foundational figure in physiology. Cannon was the chair of physiology at Harvard in the 1920s and 1930s and authored 'The Wisdom of the Body.'”
-
Memoirs of a Stomach
Discussed“In our research, we referenced some beautiful passages from the book 'Memoirs of My Stomach,' written by a French author in 1853, highlighting the gut-brain dialogue.”
