<p>Where can you find banana-stealing macaques, dumpster-diving bears, flower-destroying gulls, and dangerously-exploding trees all in the same place? In a book by <a href="https://maryroach.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mary Roach</a>, of course. In this TPWKY book club episode, we’re joined by world’s funniest science writer and award-winning author to chat about her latest book <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/3175/9781324001935" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law</a>, a rollicking tour of the many ways that humans and wildlife clash and the varied attempts to mitigate this conflict. Our conversation carries us across the globe as we discuss why “man-eating cat” is a misnomer and how the Vatican takes pest control <em>very</em> seriously, and through time as we contemplate the changing nature of conservation and the hopeful future of human-wildlife conflict. If you’ve ever wondered about the forensics of wildlife attacks (in other words, what’s going on in the Ponderosa Room?) or whether scarecrows work they’re supposed to (spoilers, they don’t), then this is the episode for you.</p>
