Mini Symposium - Social Talk

A journey through books

Harleigh C. Seyffert

We all spend time reading scientific literature, but who is still reading (real) literature for enjoyment outside of work? Me! In this talk, I’ll walk a bit through my bookshelf, going through books I’ve read recently and others that I read long ago but still find impactful. The idea here is both to give a reading recommendation and to share some insights I’ve gleaned along the way that are relevant for both life at work and life beyond work.
