BOOK DISCOVERY
Science of Me
First published 2024
Science of Me presents biology through an explicitly personal frame, inviting readers to connect scientific knowledge with the human body and individual experience. The supplied subjects identify it as both biology and juvenile literature, while the 2024 publication date places it among contemporary introductions to the field. Anna Claybourne and Jennifer Jamieson are credited as its authors. Rather than presuming particular examples or explanations, the title supports questions about identity, variation, evidence, and the ways scientific categories describe people without exhausting what makes each person distinct.
