I've started writing my book: "Biology is a Burrito & Other Essays." It is an interactive and highly visual look into the beauty, speed, and complexity of a living cell.

I'm planning to print hardcover books while serializing the essays online. The first essay is now available at burrito.bio. My goal is to publish a new chapter every week or two. (If you received this email, you are already signed up to get updates when new chapters launch!)

This book’s design was somewhat inspired by Stewart Brand's latest book, "Maintenance of Everything," which he developed in a serialized form with Works In Progress magazine. One cool thing about that book was that he improved each chapter with reader comments before printing the physical copies!

I'll be doing the same with this book. If you send me feedback that improves the text, I'll credit you online and in the final print version. You can reach me by email at nsmccarty3@gmail.com. Hope you enjoy the book!
