I finished reading V IS FOR VENOM by Kathryn Harkup yesterday.
I love the mix of history, true crime, literature, and chemistry in both this book and A IS FOR ARSENIC.
Harkup does such a good job describing the chemistry of the different poisons.
The #chemsky will love this one! 🧪⚛️🐍

What’s everyone reading this weekend?
I finished THE EARL WHO GOT AWAY yesterday (*loved*)
And now I’m reading HOW TO ADHD. This book is so relatable and helpful I think I’m going to go buy a hard copy I can highlight.

I gravitate to other moms making music. Cardi sings about motherhood a lot.
I really relate to her as someone who was also a “young mom” (lol I think she was 25 and I was 26 when my daughter was born but people acted like I was 16)
The imagery of her breastfeeding in Money healed something in me.

I feel like I grew up right with P!nk.
Our daughters were born the same year and witnessing her evolution through her music has made me feel seen.
Also no one puts on a better live show than P!nk. She is truly incredible.
Beautiful Trauma is my fav 🥹

My promotion packet is due soon so I sat down and wrote out the writing workshops I've taken to improve my creative nonfiction skills... and... it is A LOT
Writing a book was an entire process for me. I'm especially grateful for Sarah Elizabeth Schantz at Lighthouse in Denver.

Something about learning the drums as a middle-aged lady:
It’s boosting my empathy for my students in my chemistry classes. 🥁🧪
I already play the piano, but even still— learning a new instrument requires so much practice and getting comfortable with not being good at something.
