Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I’m enjoying RAISING HARE by debut author Chloe Dalton. This novel delivers a welcome immersion:
“[…] losing my way in thickets of scientific language [...] The details slipped from my mind faster than the grass that scattered as I walked, quicker than the down blown from a dandelion clock.”
