What the Story of #DDT, America’s Most Notorious Chemical, Can Teach Us Today
By Gosia Wozniacka
July 6, 2022
"In How to Sell a Poison, historian of medicine Elena Conis traces the history of DDT, its impacts, and the implications of the shifting science. In a masterful narrative style that reads like a novel, Conis tells the stories of ordinary people and the nascent #EnvironmentalMovement that sought to expose the chemical’s harms. Her book offers insights about the mechanisms of #ScienceDenial, #DisinformationCampaigns, and the role of politics and other social forces in shaping a nation’s approach to regulating a toxic substance."
