‘The Interview’: Ed Yong Wants to Show You the Hidden Reality of the World The Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer talks about burnout from covering the pandemic and how bird-watching gave him a new sense of hope.

On the cutting room floor is the bit where the host introduced their interview series, The Interview, and I asked how long it took to come up with the name. Anyway, here’s me talking about birds and science and burnout and moving through the world. The photo’s nice! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

this is *such* a good book. Actually evidence-based, unlike the polemics churned out by Haidt and Hari, and offers thoughtful, sensible advice

With the world turning away from diversity we need public anthropology more than ever. I’ve decided to do my bit to share what we know about cultures of reproduction & why they matter for human evolution. PEOPLE LIKE US coming in 2027 🙏🏻 @zcosini.bsky.social

Well done Ed! Great speech. Your face loomed over the audience on screen like a benign version of the guy from the old Apple advert
