Dear twitter folks who've had academic books published: any tips when it comes to the cover design?

Can't in good conscience recommend that anyone spend time listening to my voice, but Sean G and Christine Parker, PhD hold this episode down well.

Interested in the history of science? Sign up for Linda Hall Library's new Adult Ed. Program! This spring we're offering classes on: -#Eugenics (ft. Ry Marcattilio) -#GenuineFakes (ft. Lydia Pyne) -#FringeScience (ft. “Dr.” Edward Guimont) -#EnergyTransitions (ft. Brian Frehner) #histSTM

There is still space available in Linda Hall Library's class on #eugenics in America! Our instructor, Ry Marcattilio, is a former LHL fellow whose book (The Incorrigibles-Eugenics & Sterilization in the Kansas Industrial School for Girls) is being published by Univ Nebraska Press. #histSTM

What's this, a link for a hot new book coming out in October? nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/97814…

Been waiting awhile to join this party. Final page proofs for The Incorrigibles, out October 1, 2023.
