My conversation with Civil Eats on DDT, toxic chemicals, and the links among social inequality, race, environmental pollution and (much) more is out today. Thx @GosiaWozniacka for your great questions! civileats.com/2022/07/06/ddt…

Wow what a "book report" šŸŒŽ ✊@lisaschipper.bsky.social - thanks! And thx for putting it so well: scientific disinformation takes its place next to science, because science is social...and so often political, and has such massive economic implications too

Great convo with the incredible @evankleiman on KCRW 's Good Food. DDT's history is the story of how & why we invited chemicals into the kitchen (and bedroom, living room, school, playground, etc) as much as onto the farm... kcrw.com/culture/shows/…

Read it on the plane, bus, park bench, beach blanket, behind the counter at work: The How to Sell a Poison ebook is just $1.99 this weekend. Less than a cup of coffee, and just as good at keeping you awake :)
