A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them by Neil Bradbury

The set up is talk about a molecule, its history, how it kills in the body, and then a crime where it was used. Fascinating on multiple levels!

I haven't been talking about my #crochet here, but it's been eating my brain since I took it up back up in September? October? Anyway here's my latest finished project, a shawl/wrap that I call my Kaladin Stormblessed shawl.
