The best science is similar. The best science doesn’t necessarily help us solve problems. Much more powerfully, it helps us formulate them correctly.

Last summer I got curious about the immune system and a colleague gave me Janeway's Immunobiology as summer reading. (Such an amazing read!)

This year I want to learn more about the brain. What should I read?
