Books/web sites etc. To help understand the science of pfs

I have a history degree and didn’t study science past the age of 16. I’ve picked up some of the science by being in this forum, but is there anything I can read to help me understand pfs more. I’m not sure where I should start: epigenetics, bio chemistry, molecular biology.

Plus I’m lazy so looking for minimal effort for fastest reward haha.

I’d recommend this free biology course via Khan Academy.

I think what you really need to know are the functions of the organelles and receptor-substrate reactions. From there, I can recommend some physiology courses, sites, etc. I often used Khan as a supplement to get me through undergrad.

Also, this video breaks down the male endocrinology system. It’s pretty fascinating and crazy to think it’s all hapenning while regulating itself.

Hey @Ukguy82,

I have spent a very, very long time since with drier academic materials, but over a year ago when I first started trying to make sense of something I had no ‘armchair’ knowledge of (gene expression and regulation), I read a book called “The Epigenetics Revolution: How Modern Biology is Rewriting Our Understanding of Genetics, Disease and Inheritance” by Nessa Carey. It’s clear, understandable and very enlightening as a place to start with this topic and I still thoroughly recommend it for a quick primer. I found this a great starting point.

Hope that helps.
