    I turned up at Waterstones in Worthing to sign some new stock of QUEER ORIGINS and was absolutely bowled over to be greeted by this, in prime position in the shop window! It&#39;s so uplifting when booksellers get behind one&#39;s book. 💜🌈📚🦋 #book #books #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity #writing #author #science #nature #animals #evolution #Darwin #history #histsci #histsex #queerhistory #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia

    I never thought I&#39;d see the day. Charles Darwin is currently trending above two porn-related articles, Luke Evans, and Kit Connor in Attitude Magazine! 🙃 The power of #histsci . . . Thank you, one and all — please keep sharing. Here&#39;s the article: https://www.attitude.co.uk/culture/literature/darwins-queer-creatures-532721/ #reading #writing #science #nature #animals #Darwin #evolution #history #histsex #queerhistory #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #PrideInSTEM

    I&#39;m hyperexcited that QUEER ORIGINS will be published in the UK on Tuesday! Just a reminder that discount code HSS26 (from the recent history of science conference in Edinburgh) gets you a cracking 30% off the book from my publisher&#39;s website until the end of August: https://yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300287202/darwin-and-the-queer-origins-of-life/. As it stands, I think it remains the cheapest way to buy it (£17 with free UK postage). 🏳️‍🌈 📚️ 🦋 #book #books #history #science #nature #Dar...

    I&#39;ve written about Charles Darwin&#39;s surprisingly queer science of sex in the latest issue of History Today! 🏳️‍🌈🦚 :transgender: 🦋 https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/charles-darwins-sexual-revolution #Darwin #science #nature #history #Victorian #histsci #sex #histsex #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia
