"The stories I have chosen reflect where I feel the field of science and nature writing has landed, and where it could go," Ed Yong writes in his introduction.

From an in-depth look at the moment of the virus's outbreak, to a harrowing personal account of lingering Covid symptoms, to a thoughtful analysis on how the pandemic will impact the environment, these essays, as Yong says, "synthesize, evaluate, dig, unveil, and challenge," imbuing a pivotal moment in history with lucidity and elegance.

In this class, we will spend the first half of the term studying the personal essay genre and the second half of the term studying the formal essay genre. Students are encouraged to choose topics for their personal and formal essays based upon their own interests and areas of academic specialization. Ultimately, the class is devoted to seeking a greater understanding of the essay form. The text will be the Little Norton Reader; students nominate a selection of readings that constitute our term-long reading list. This term, we will be piloting Canvas LMS, an intuitive and user-friendly platform that allows for best practices in writing process instruction.

This quarter's core workshop will focus on science writing -- both in reportage and its use in personal essays and long-form narrative. Although much of its focus is in researching and reporting in the sciences, the course does not assume any previous experience in the subject.
