News from the Road
Greetings from the road--or, to be more precise, Palo Alto, where I'm talking tonight at the
Commonwealth Club Silicon Valley. Tomorrow I'm zipping over to Denver, to talk with anthropologist Chip Colwell at the
Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It looks like we'll be filmed by the good people at Book TV. When and if CSPAN decides to air our talk, I'll share the information.
Word of Mouth--and of Keyboards
I have a favor to ask. I am doing my best to let people know about She Has Her Mother's Laugh, but I'm only one person. If you've already read my book and would like to help spread the word, please rate/review it on your favorite book site, such as Goodreads or Amazon. There's strength in numbers. Thanks!
Two Podcasts and a Video
This Sunday, Jennifer Raff's
wonderful review of
She Has Her Mother's Laugh appeared in the print edition of The
New York Times Book Review. The editor of the review, Pamela Paul, invited me on her podcast to talk about heredity.
You can listen here.
I also talked with the good folks at
the "Stuff to Blow Your Mind" podcast. And, if you'd rather watch a video,
here's a conversation I had with microbiologist Ben Libberton for
Nature Research Microbiology.
Want a Bookplate?
I am happy to sign books at public events until they drag me from the venue. But if your path and mine don't intersect, I'd be just as happy to send you
an autographed bookplate. I simply need to see that you've bought the book and get your address. You can email me a receipt or a picture of yourself holding the book at carl@carlzimmer.com. Or, if you'd like to help spread the word on social media, you can post a photo of you and the book on Twitter, tagging @carlzimmer and @duttonbooks so that we see you and can get in touch. Or you can
put it in a comment on this post on my Facebook page.
