Fun Reads 
The Lab Discovering DNA in Old Books, by Sarah Zhang
Old books are full of clues to the past. But until recently, few people thought to hunt for clues from these book’s physical pages. This interesting feature in the The Atlantic highlights a multidisciplinary project led by British archaeologist Matthew Collins, who works with geneticists, archivists, and historians to uncover and analyze DNA evidence in the animal skin parchment of English medieval-era books.
