Today’s episode features an interview with Lydia Cooper and Matthew Reznicek, the guest editors of a brand new special issue of Studies in the Novel focusing on “Disease and Disability.”
As they say in their introduction, “This special issue offers critical insights into the way the novel as a form intertwines, disaggregates, confounds, and represents the embodied experience of disability and disease.” With articles that consider Nathanael Hawthorne, Ling Ma, Toni Morrison, Somerset Maugham, Wilkie Collins, and more, this discussion sets the stage for a can’t-miss issue of studies in the way novels can challenge and broaden "our understanding of how and why novelistic discourse is uniquely capable of representations of disease and disability”

On today's episode, we talk with David Shiffman, author of Why Sharks Matter, about his recent study of how scientists are engaging social media: “Scientists No Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and Have Switched to Bluesky." In this episode, we explore the findings of the survey and discuss some of the reasons why this shift has occurred.
A marine conservation biologist and public science engagement specialist based in Washington, DC, David Shiffman is a prolific writer, with words appearing in National Geographic, the Washington Post, Scientific American, SCUBA magazine, his blog Southern Fried Science, and, of course, his 2022 Hopkins Press book, Why Sharks Matter.
