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."

I got to visit a very cool fermentation plant in Japan that turns leftover human food into food for pigs, creating a recycling loop. *And* my BBC editor let me reference the Bog of Eternal Stench in the story! https://t.co/BviyDQiPLZ

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

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. https://t.co/83mduJS9Nk

[Victoria Lee @MicrobeHistory]

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"!

Pleased that an interview I gave in French in June was cited in the prominent French investigative journal #mediapart 🇫🇷🦠

Je suis contente d'être mentionnée dans un article de Mediapart sur le #microbe.

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 https://t.co/Hvl5xUug3K
