Title Most people don’t understand their immune systems. Philipp Dettmer is here to help. Media name/outlet Washington Post Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 17/02/22 Description Dettmer isn’t a medical doctor or an epidemiologist. In “Immune,” he describes himself as “a science communicator and immune system enthusiast.” He credits a team of experts with fact-checking the book and answering his questions. For the most part, he gets it right, says Daniel M. Davis, a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester in England and the author of three immune-system books. “Philipp is really gifted in getting to the crux of things and boiling it down to the essence, and then translating those details into wonderful, colorful metaphors,” Davis says. Dettmer’s style aims for mass appeal — and, indeed, his book sold 100,800 copies in the United States, as of the week ending Jan. 29, according to NPD BookScan.
