Hacker News Stories and Comments

All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.
Absolutely, I have quite a few I'd recommend. If you tell me more about your background and what you're looking for, I can refine my recommendations further.

Either way, the first thing you have to know is that it's a huge huge field, and you won't find any single book that introduces you well to every subtopic (it's just impossible), and the amount of background/support knowledge you need in order to be able to fully and critically appreciate even basic research papers is pretty enormous.

USMLE step 1 prep materials are surprisingly good outlines, but not great for an introduction on their own:

- https://www.amazon.ca/First-USMLE-Step-Thirty-first/dp/12604...

Cancer:

- I don't know of any good textbooks on the subject, but once you have some of the fundamentals of biochem under your belt, start reading the papers referenced here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hallmarks_of_Cancer
