A number one Irish bestseller, and winner of the Popular Non-Fiction Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards

In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Professor Luke O’Neill grapples with life’s biggest questions and tells us what science has to say about them.

Covering topics from global pandemics to gender, addiction to euthanasia, Luke O’Neill’s 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 topics human beings have to grapple with, Never Mind the B#ll*ocks, Here’s the Science is a celebration of science and hard facts in a time of fake news and sometimes unhelpful groupthink.
