The author, an animal enthusiast since childhood, evolved from wanting to be a veterinarian to becoming a science journalist covering various topics. Joining The New York Times in 2021, they found a niche in animal health and science reporting, showcasing diverse stories that reveal both the differences and similarities between species. Their experiences include visiting unique locations like sanctuaries for chimpanzees and Navy bases training marine mammals, all emphasizing the complex lives of animals and their communication systems.
I have written about how ants and orcas respond to death, for example, and how many species have communication systems that are far more complex than humans have long given them credit for.
Today, I have what is, in my highly biased personal opinion, the best beat at The Times, writing about animal health and science.
