OIRM Science Reading List
This summer, OIRM asked some of Ontario’s top researchers in regenerative medicine to give us a book recommendation. What books inspired their work or gave them invaluable information to support their career? We shared their selections on our Twitter feed all summer long with the hashtag #OIRMReads and we’re thrilled to provide the full reading list below. The list, which was developed to help those interested in or just starting a career in science, is as diverse as the research field.
