The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2022 by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Jaime Green

While I share the ideology behind 2022’s collection, it leans way too hard on that ideology at the expense of what I consider to be the strength of the series: the science itself. Most of the pieces in this edition are focused so heavily on injustice that the science takes a back seat. I’ve been reading this series for several years and this one, though earnest and well-intentioned, struck me as the laziest and least revelatory.
