Hello everyone,

The pre-publication giveaway for Big Chicken has concluded, and winners will hear from the publisher soon. If you didn't win, please watch this page for another opportunity once the book is released.

Which will be... tomorrow! After four years of work, it's startling to realize how very close this suddenly is.

Over the weekend, there was an excerpt at NPR's The Salt, on a 1950s medical mystery solved by one of the CDC's first "disease detectives":
'Big Chicken': The Medical Mystery That Traced Back To Slaughterhouse Workers

I talked about the book on the program/podcast Science Friday:
How Antibiotics Beefed Up The Chicken Industry

And I appeared on the fantastic podcast Science for the People.

Meanwhile, Big Chicken is an Amazon Best Book of the Month!
