Rowan Jacobsen’s award-winning science and cultural writing has appeared in the pages of The New York Times, The Washington Post, Harper’s Magazine, Outside, The Atlantic, Scientific American, Smithsonian, National Geographic, MIT Technology Review, and elsewhere, and his work has been anthologized in The Best American Science and Nature Writing. He has been a fellow at the Alicia Patterson Foundation, at the Knight Science Journalism program at MIT, and at the Nova Institute for Health, researching the impacts of light on the human body. He is the author of ten books, including the James Beard Award–winning A Geography of Oysters, Fruitless Fall, and Wild Chocolate. He has spoken at Harvard, Yale, and the Aspen Ideas Institute, and has appeared on CBS, NBC, and NPR. He can be found in Vermont—at least when the sun is shining.
