That success is science writer Deb Blum&#8217;s marvelous The Poisoner&#8217;s Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York. There is no better way, I think, to get a chemistry lesson and not feel bored by it&#8230;.and of course, Blum&#8217;s book has been selling like hotcakes thanks to the power of her narrative. You can get Blum&#8217;s book online here; and of course, as usual I will be taking questions for Blum both here on the blog and also at the Point of Inquiry forums. So send them in now&#8230;and we&#8217;ll get some of them on the air. The show records Wednesday, to air Friday, so questions received after Wednesday early am won&#8217;t be in the running&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/xa1r8ESj4RJleCM0ileMObN4Mag\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/xa1r8ESj4RJleCM0ileMObN4Mag\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/xa1r8ESj4RJleCM0ileMObN4Mag\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/xa1r8ESj4RJleCM0ileMObN4Mag\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/DiscoverMag\/~4\/6z5AQvEk7es\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the next installment of Point of Inquiry, I&#8217;m going to be cutting back on the heavy science policy stuff for a moment, and instead exploring a recent, dramatic success in the realm of science popularization.
