I am more of an English/History nerd, but one of my reading goals for 2025 was to read a physics book. A lot of what's mentioned is going way over my head from the physics to the simple math involved (I read under my desk in school because I couldn't understand geometry or calculus). Regardless of all that, I am still having a fun time with this book. Annotating it helps.

Fascinating book especially when the author talks about race and patriarchy within the scientific fields.

Ch. 5 wasn't what I was expecting, but I suppose that's what is to be expected given that there are not a lot of women scientists, let alone diverse (BIPOC) scientists so the study of melanin hasn't been conducted in a way that's beneficial for us. It has only come as a result of experimentation to further the dominant race. It did get me asking the question though: what's the science behind my dark skin?

Wow, the final pages from ch. 4 (p.87-90) were incredible. I loved the talk about colonization. and wondering how different things may have turned out had Westerners (ie white men) based their 'scientific knowledge' on knowledge that Indigenous people already knew.
