Science writer Ed Yong was an invaluable resource for many of us navigating the strange pandemic landscape. His writing about COVID-19 at The Atlantic earned him a Pulitzer Prize—but also left him looking for an outlet to recalibrate after that anxiety-ridden period. Inspired by his own writing in his book, An Immense World, Ed turned to birding despite not expecting to be any good at it. Being a birder has turned into a passion for Ed, a way to explore both his home and the wider world—and an inspiration for his writing.
Also, Nate shares his experience wrangling endemics in Puerto Rico.
