Ed Yong
Ed Yong is a prominent science journalist and author, best known for his insightful reporting on the Covid-19 pandemic, which earned him a Pulitzer Prize. His work, particularly in The Atlantic, made him a key voice in understanding the complexities of the virus and its long-term effects, including long Covid. In 2022, he published the bestselling book 'An Immense World,' exploring animal perception. After feeling the emotional toll of his pandemic reporting, Yong left The Atlantic in 2023 to focus on a new book and found solace in birding, a hobby he embraced during the pandemic.
