Congratulations on book launch day! I am the editor of New Scientist and had no idea that NS inspired you to become a science journalist when I reviewed your book! We should collaborate sometime! Cat

THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING REVIEW!!!! Yes, I read it every day on the train from Clapham Junction to Epsom for work for years!!! I even reached out to at least one editor way back when for advice on how to become a science journalist....

Congrats! Can't wait to read it. And your post is so relatable... This is one reason I love being a parent. Kids keep it real, no matter your ambitions. 😎

I love this: "You could be winning a Pulitzer or walking the red carpet, and you’d still be expected to watch a freshly choreographed dance, hand out 321 snacks and clean vomit out of car seats between photo ops." So true. Authors, they're just like us. Congrats, Melinda! I hope the rest of the week is less hectic.
