About the Author
I'm the host of this little science show. 
I’m currently reading Blood of the Caesars by Stephen Dando-Collins. Germanicus Caesar was the grandson of Marc Antony, adopted son of Tiberius, father of Caligula, and grandfather of Nero. He was a general and politician, and had been tagged by Augustus to become emperor after Tiberius, but someone(s) thought differently and poisoned him. This book is an investigation of his death, and what happened afterwards.
