I write about wildlife, the natural world, and public health, based on my career as an author of books like "The Species Seekers" and "Swimming with Piranhas at Feeding Time," and as a contributor to magazines, television documentaries, and public radio.
Richard Conniff is one of my favorite writers. For proof, read The Species Seekers, essentially a gossip column of 17th and 18th century naturalists.
