Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)

Graphic Medicine
Graphic Medicine is… (an actual term) graphic novels, manga, comics, and visual representation engaging with health and healthcare - from health diagrams visual pamphlets to a graphic novel including health story or rep.
Note: I have NOT read all of these. It’s more a collection of a genre than intended as a recommendation. Do your research! :)
Mostly adult, YA, MG, and some other youth/ all ages titles
In-progress / updated over time Reccomendations welcome

NPR Books We Love 2013
I wait for this list every year, and I mine some of my absolute favorites from it. I'm afraid one day the site might not be able to continue it, and heaven forbid the archive goes, plus I really want a trackable version of it. Hope you enjoy, and check out their filters on the link! https://apps.npr.org/best-books/#view=covers&year=2013
