⭐⭐⭐
A nice introductory book, but could do with an update as some information is a little dated and a beginner wouldn't be able to determine what is no longer accurate.

A Very Short Intro to Microscopy
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Covers a lot of ground in a tiny book. As is usual with these books, it gives you the facts without the fluff. Brilliant for getting an overview of the topic.

I only wish I'd read this book BEFORE I was assigned my first graded lab report. Does what it says on the cover.

Statistics Without Tears
by Derek Rowntree
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you're starting a degree and struggle to understand statistics - read this book. Absolutely brilliant.

Academic research poster in blues and greens, with display table of woodland props such as bark, branches of pine needles, cones, and wood essential oils.
Just earned a solid 88 for our group research poster on phytoncides. Pushing my average up to 81.7.
Anything over 70 in the UK puts you in the First grading band.
Gonna be well prepared for when the marks start to count towards my degree. Definitely recommend taking the IFY route.

How to Become a Straight A Student by Cal Newport
Hugely validating reading the techniques you've figured out on your own being advised in a book. Plus a few gems I hadn't thought of.

Lovely lichens.
Can't wait until I've studied some more and can actually ID what I'm looking at 💚
