Deborah Blum, a nationally known writer about poison, believes that the public deserves more scientific information. As a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and director of the Knight Science Journalism program at MIT, Blum has a strong background in science communication. She is also a Badger, having received a graduate degree from UW-Madison and taught science journalism and other topics there for nearly two decades.
In a recent interview, Blum discusses the science message behind her books, “The Poison Squad” and “The Poisoner’s Handbook.” She delves into the importance of informing the public about toxic substances and their effects. Blum’s expertise in this area shines through as she advocates for greater scientific literacy among the general population.
Through her work and teachings, Blum hopes to bridge the gap between scientific research and the public, providing accessible and accurate information about poisons and their impact on society. By sharing her knowledge and insights, she seeks to empower individuals to make informed decisions and protect themselves from potential harm.
