In fact, Women of Fisheries has been facilitating a book club since 2019! The goal of our book club is to engage our membership in great reads of books of interest and continue discussions about challenges and highlights of being in the fisheries field and as women in science in general. There is now a dedicated webpage devoted to the Women of Fisheries Book Club – check it out!

The book club selects two books per year (one fiction and one non-fiction) and hosts virtual discussions. So far we’ve read 8 books (4 fiction, 4 non-fiction). They have ranged from books directly related to fisheries science (Why Fish Don’t Exist) to contemporary best sellers (Lessons in Chemistry). See here for a complete list of book club picks and recommendations.
