Maryn McKenna has two new blogs up, both dealing with the dangers of antibiotics in livestock, and a new article in SELF Magazine, and all three are very much worth taking the time to read this morning.
As an added bonus, Maryn will also be conducting a twitter chat tomorrow (details below), so block out an hour of your time and start thinking about your questions.
While I scrounge around looking for something for my own blog this morning, I would invite you to jump over to Maryn’s site to read:

As her second blog explains, Maryn has a major new article up on SELF Magazine, and tomorrow Maryn will hold a twitter chat. The details from Maryn’s blog follow:
Now: Bonus! With SELF’s help, Lisa and I are going to conduct a Twitterchat tomorrow (Thursday, June 7), starting at 4 pm ET and going for an hour. To participate, follow me (@marynmck), Lisa (@adamslisa) or SELF (@SELFMagazine), or watch for the hashtag #superbugs. Send us your questions in advance or during the chat. We really want to hear from you.
And finally, for anyone who has not yet read Maryn’s eye-opening 2010 book Superbug: The Fatal Menace of MRSA, a link to my review.
