Our book for Dec-Feb is 'Mind the Science' by Jonathan Stea. #pedanticzebra for updates on social media Why Zebras? Because of this common medical aphorism, which has led to the dismissal of many zebras: “When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra.” This book club is hosted by Long Covid Advocacy: https://www.longcovidadvoc.com/ Indie Bookshops: DISABILITY JUSTICE BOOKSHOP - NIGHTLIGHT https://bookshop.org/shop/nightlight_books
