Would You Like to Know Who Has Been Named One the Top Bloggers in the U.S.?

                                           www.uwalumni.com

UW professor and author Deborah Blum was named one of the best bloggers in the country by a Time magazine technology writer.

Her blog address on the internet is" www.deborahblum.com".  If you are a blogger then you definitely will learn from just reading her posts.



Blum's blog, Elemental, was listed by Harry McCracken, a Time magazine editor at large, as one of the "25 best bloggers, 2013 edition."

Blum is a professor in the UW School of Journalism and Mass Communication and Pulitzer-Prize winning science writer.

McCracken writes: "'Macabre' is not an adjective that applies to many blogs of any sort, let alone ones by Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalists. In the case of Deborah Blum’s Elemental, one of Wired‘s science blogs, it fits — because her primary subject is poison, and most often poison that’s intentionally administered in the hopes of killing someone. But Elemental is informative and fascinating as well as a tad unsettling. Blum’s recent topics include the possibility that Yasser Arafat was murdered through radiation, the world’s dumbest poisoners and the death of 23 children in India who ate pesticide-laced food at school. She’s also written five books about poison, with another in the works."

Investigating Science One Story AT A Time is the theme of her blog. Her posts are very interesting and current.

Don’t miss Deborah’s #1 Amazon Kindle best-selling single, Angel Killer, a true story of a cannibal killer who stalked New York City during the 1920s and 1930s. Published by The Atavist, this is a tale of a killer who knew how to stay invisible, a detective who wouldn’t give up, and a trial that shocked the country.
