Book Club Business

Is it distant thunder? A passing freight train? World Cup fans celebrating a goal? Nope...that's the sound of the ScienceBlogs Book Club becoming active again! It's been awhile since we hosted a Book Club discussion here on the blog - not since Paul Offitt's Autism's False Prophets back in 2008 - but we thought it was about time to get things going again. Luckily Mark Pendergrast, author of the recently published Inside the Outbreaks: The Elite Medical Detectives of the Epidemic Intelligence Service agreed to lead a discussion of the book, and starting next week you can follow along right…
A few of you commented recently that you'd received your free copy of Autism's False Prophets, but hadn't gotten an email from us yet. Excuse us! An email went out this morning, to everyone who signed up. If you were expecting one but didn't get it, check your junk-mail filter. It might have gotten trapped. One more email, with some thoughts and questions about the book to jump-start the discussion, will go out before the club begins, probably on Monday evening. If you'd like to sign up for the mailing list and haven't already, you can do so here. Thanks, everybody.
