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! bbc.com/future/article/20240…

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"!
