Ed Yong
Ed Yong is a science journalist and author whose work explores biology, animal perception, microbiomes, and public health. He wrote I Contain Multitudes and An Immense World, and his COVID-19 reporting for The Atlantic helped shape public understanding, earning the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting.
Biografia e Jornada do Autor
Ed Yong’s route to authorship began far from the American magazine world he would later shape. Born in Malaysia and raised in Britain from his teens, he studied natural sciences, specializing in zoology, at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He then tried graduate study, but eventually concluded that research itself suited him less than explaining it. Afterward he joined Cancer Research UK, working in health evidence and information. In 2006, while still at the charity, he started Not Exactly Rocket Science as a side project to practice, test his voice, and assemble clips. What began as self-training soon became the foundation of a career. ((https://apnews.com/article/b8f5cb91cdc1b4a15b12cbd4664eabc3?utm_source=openai))
