A fascinating BBC feature linking contemporary Japanese fermentation tech, food waste, animal nutrition, and the circular economy. It cites me on the Japanese perspective on microbes as "living workers."

Delighted to see Christoph Gradmann's perceptive review of my book in @AmHistReview. doi.org/10.1093/ahr/rh…

Advance copies of "The Arts of the Microbial World" came!😊

Pleased to see in print my review of Chris Otter's "Diet for a Large Planet" in @IsisJournal, which was a fascinating account of the clash between the demand for cheap food in 🇬🇧 and global sustainability concerns journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…

Very grateful for reviews by Miriam Kingsberg Kadia @jas_tw and Mark Yu Shan Chen @EastsJournal !

A proud achievement as a new mother this fall: I'm published in a poetry zine! The Scotland-based @CoinOpPress run workshops and make collaborative zines. The callout was for haiku or haiga, and I developed these at @newmumswriting.

Thanks to @NathanEHopson for the @NewBooksNetwork interview! It was great to have the opportunity to chat about some of my favorite themes (non-western science, "complementary science" [Chang], colonialism) in the book. megaphone.link/NSR6218886203

Feel really delighted and grateful for The Arts of the Microbial World to have received this beautifully written review from Jia-Chen Fu in @SHMeditor , which calls the account "a tesseract of space-time travel"! doi.org/10.1093/shm/hk…

The first review. Thank you so much to Mathias Grote for the detailed, generous review in the FASEB (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) Journal. I particularly liked the counterfactual questions at the end faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj…
