Outside/In: Where curiosity and the natural world collide.
Look around, and you’ll find everything is connected to the natural world. At Outside/In, we explore that idea with boundless curiosity. We report from disaster zones, pickleball courts, and dog sled kennels, and talk about policy, pop culture, science, and everything in between. From the backcountry to your backyard, we tell stories that expand the boundaries of environmental journalism.

People love fishing for trout. They love it so much that we are willing to go to insane lengths to catch them.

Patient Zero: The Triangle
When you're fighting off a cold or flu, it's easy to imagine the battle is being waged solely inside the confines of your body.

Patient Zero investigates the spaces where people and pathogens collide. It is a story about Lyme disease, but it is also a story about uncertainty, and what to do in the face of it.

Plan B
Ever since the threat of climate change was first made public, scientists have offered the possibility of a get-out-of-jail-free card: geoengineering. While reducing emissions is hard and complicated, why not just engineer the Earth's atmosphere in the meantime?
Decades later, the science of geoengineering is still in its infancy, but a growing number of researchers are trying to change that. Should they?
