About this ebook

In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Ireland's favourite scientist Professor Luke O'Neill grapples with life's biggest questions and tells us what science has to say about them: DO WE HAVE CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES? CAN WE ESCAPE WORKING IN BULLSH*T JOBS? MUST WE VACCINATE? ARE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BRAINS DIFFERENT? WILL WE DESTROY THE PLANET? As he covers topics such as global pandemics, addiction and euthanasia, Luke's trademark easy wit and clever pop-culture references deconstruct the science to make complex questions accessible. Arriving at science's definitive answers to some of the most controversial issues human beings have to contend with, Never Mind the B#ll*cks, Here's the Science is a celebration of science and hard facts in a time of fake news and sometimes unhelpful groupthink.
