_Space Monkeys!_ has been reviewed in the journal Critical Studies in Media Communication: “From start to finish, Lynch is invested in conversing with the reader about the kinds of critical judgment that we make about the use of these non-human space travelers.”

In addition to _Space Monkeys!_, I also talk about research on people. Earlier this month, I talked with Nick Swartsell from WVXU for a story about the unethical radiation research conducted at UC in the 60s and the push for a new memorial.

Decades after UC radiation experiments, students and families call for better memorial
Between 1960 and 1972, UC researchers exposed more than 90 people to full-body radiation via a Department of Defense-funded experiment. A small plaque on an obscure part of campus memorializes them.
