Welcome!
The Night Science Book Club explores ideas around how science is done, with a particular interest in creativity. As we read these books together we discuss their core concepts and reflect on how they connect with our interest in Night Science.
Books can be purchased through our Bookshop.org affiliate link below. The Night Science Institute will earn a commission which will be used to support our mission.
