Welcome to /o/STEM! This circle is dedicated to science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine, where you can discuss all things STEM, seek career advice, share learning resources, and pose “ask an expert” questions to the Ovarit STEM community.
Please provide a descriptive title for your posts and add a flair that best describes your post topic. We encourage posters to add links to relevant articles or research papers in their posts and comments.
Since our focus is on STEM, posts should not be focused on politics, ethics, or philosophy. Any discussion on popular science or medicine (to include COVID-19) must be based on scientific principles and research.
This is also not the place to discuss diet, lifestyle, alternative medicine, or psychology. For these topics please check out o/women which is a general discussion circle and o/womenshealthlounge which is a support sub for health issues.
No conspiracy theories, no quackery, no spamming, and no politically charged posts. The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
Any posts that fail to meet the criteria provided above may be removed.
Thank you and enjoy!
From the time that I was a kid, reading hard-backs was a whole experience for me. I miss that. It’s not the same for me reading books on my kindle (on my iPad or iPhone).
Before my last move, I got rid of 99% of the books that I had collected over the years. Even though there were only a few that I had read more than once, there was something comforting when I sat in my reading chair in my office, surrounded by my bookcases filled with books.
This science is fascinating. I need to preserve my brain power as long as I can. I think that I will see what my local library has. Before smartphones, I would get books from the library every week. I don’t even know when I stopped going. Kindle is easy and handy and I simply stopped getting hard-backs.
