Bethany Brookshire

Reposting with #introduction to get it where people can see it!

*curtsies*

Bonsoir. Enchante. I am Bethany Brookshire, I'm a #science #journalist, #scicomm #nerd, #podcast host, and now #author! My book, Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains, will be out December 6!

It's about the animals we hate, and WHY. It's about the animals we love, no matter who they hurt. It's "scintillating, searching, and surprisingly funny" and I hope that the #twitter implosion hasn't doomed it. And me.

@beebrookshire I often read outside, and I'm not ashamed to admit that probability of killing a mosquito with this book is high😂😂😂
Wishing you all the best with your book launch!

@alchemistsstudio There actually aren't any mosquitoes in it! At least...until you smash them there aren't. 😂

@beebrookshire Maybe I can add a June bug too 😂😂😂. Whereas mosquitoes are just annoying, June bugs freak me out lol

Hi Bethany !

Your book sounds amazing...!

Any vampire bats in there...?

(Presumably, bats in general get a mention...)
