I’ve got a book coming out soon, on the pesticide DDT & the history of science denial from 1950s chemical and tobacco campaigns to the January 6 Capitol riot.

So honored by this mention @drdavidmichaels - especially given all I've learned from your incredibly important work on corporate deception

I agree 100%. "How to Sell a Poison" by @elenaconis is a great read. Before reading it, I had no knowledge of how DDT was sold to the public, and of links and interactions in marketing and shaping regulation among DDT and tobacco manufacturers. Fascinating and eye-opening!

@amazonaspr @DrTomori Still showing $1.99 on Kindle, but glad you got it anyway. Thanks! And Casey Turner is an incredible narrator.

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 :)

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/…
