Nature from the Margins

From the fossil record to the edges of space, science passes through a sense of wonder about humanity and our place in the universe. Three exemplary science writers on what the study of the natural world has to say about the human one: Beronda L. Montgomery (When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy), Chanda Prescod-Weinstein (The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie) and Nathan H. Lents (The Sexual Evolution: How 500 Million Years of Sex, Gender, and Mating Shape Modern Relationships) in discussion. Moderated by Joseph Osmundson (Spawning Season).
