Great reading session again today, thanks everyone who joined in.

We’ll go again next week Sunday 14th June at 13:00 UTC, that is in your time zone: 2020-06-14T13:00:00Z

We are going to go back to the section we’re just finishing up and read the following chapters:

Pages 133-136: Light speed :zap:
Pages 137-139: X-rays :skull_and_crossbones: :skull:
Pages 140-150: Marie Curie :woman_scientist:

Please feel free to nominate a section you would like to read so you have the opportunity to practice in advance. We’ve generally split up the chapters to allow everyone a chance to read - we will definitely be splitting the Marie Curie chapter!

I’m requesting the beginning of Marie Curie chapter, pp.140-141. I love this woman. I’ve read a biography written by her daughter Eve, her life story is truly fascinating.

I’ll take 142-143 of the Marie Curie Chapter, I really love the dialogue.

I’ll have to see how I go, I won’t nominate a section since if tomorrow’s anything like tonight I unfortunately won’t be able to take part!

I’ll do the light speed chapter. @IgorTheGreat can you change the thread title to say we are on part 5 please?

Edit done. (I know I’m not Igor)

We’re heading back to some of the earlier chapters again: it’s pages 34-52 in the new editions (that’s 17 pages of text).

It includes the following chapters:

Snot
Dental cavities
Suntans
Centre of gravity experiments
Cats

As ever feel free to nominate a section you’d like to read in advance. If there’s lots of people there we’ll split the chapters up so everyone gets a chance to read who wants to. If you just want to listen in without reading you are very welcome too.
