She is the author of several books, including "The Poison Squad" and "The Poisoner's Handbook", and has written columns for The New York Times and blogs for Wired.
As a scientific journalist for the Sacramento Bee, Blum authored a number of stories analyzing the intellectual, moral, and psychological tensions that exist between researchers who utilize animals in their work and others who oppose it.
