Welcome to our inaugural episode! Join Laura and Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong as they talk about bearing witness to complex societal issues and what Ed does to keep going. He shares what it's been like to navigate the vicarious trauma that comes from increased and prolonged exposure and the challenges of trying to maintain his own equilibrium. Listen to hear what Ed and Laura suggest as strategies to be present in the work that needs to be done to bring scientific truth and human stories to the world, and how to sustain oneself while you do it.
