Portland: I’ll be in conversation with Ferris Jabr about climate change and brain health on Monday evening at Powell's Books! 7pm! Join us!
From 2017: my The New York Times essay on how a total solar eclipse severs our solar umbilical cord, profoundly albeit briefly altering life on Earth—with illustrations by Golden Cosmos nytimes.com/2017/08/14/sci…
Here's how the #EclipseSolar2024 looked from space so far, watch for the shadow zooming in on the left-hand side of the video, then passing up and over North America!
As well as looking cool, the path of the shadow is a great demonstration of how the Earth isn't flat😃
Today I handed over the typescript of my new book Is A River Alive? to my editor & friend Simon Prosser.
It felt—after 3+ yrs’ work—like a big moment.
To mark it we walked up to the springs near my house, where a river is born—and the book begins & ends.
More on the project below.

My British publisher, Picador Books, opted for something lush & prismatic, featuring Rogan Brown’s gorgeous art.
UK audiobook/ebook out in late June; UK hardback in late August. Becoming Earth will eventually be available in at least eight languages.
🌎🔥🧠 Today in the The Guardian, I argue that climate change is intervening directly on brain health. This is not a story of climate anxiety. With fabulous illustrations from Ngadi Smart: theguardian.com/environment/20…

For Los Angeles Review of Books I reviewed conservation biologist Joe Roman's fascinating new book, which explores how animals profoundly alter their environments and have shaped the planet as a whole lareviewofbooks.org/article/animal…
'For Roman, these ecological insights offer more than a refined understanding of our world; they also provide a roadmap for how we can improve it.' Ferris Jabr reviews Joe Roman's 'Eat, Poop, Die.' lareviewofbooks.org/article/animal…
