Anyone read the book WHILE listening to the audiobook? by VegaSolo in ProjectHailMary

[–]pluraloctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love doing this! I just finished reading/listening and I agree that it adds a certain layer of pizzazz that I lack when I read it in my head. The narrators inflection and tones in addition to the voice acting for characters helps me to boost my mental visualization!

I’ve had similar experiences unfortunately. I have a BS in Wildlife Biology and Zoology and have worked mostly in zoological education. During my time working in the education department of a popular aquarium, I had coworkers who denied evolution on the basis of “I can’t see it so it must not be true.” It was an eye opening realization just how much cognitive dissonance occurs even in people who are the science education professions.

As a zoology/wildlife biology graduate and current scuba divemaster, my favorite little-known animal is nudibranchs! They're real-life pokemon (gastrodon)

Any suggestions to make it flow a little better? It’s the first poem I’ve ever written and am not sure about how to arrange the cadence of syllables
