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

informative slow-paced

2.0

I was rather disappointed with the lack of diversity of the sciences covered. A lot of the selections seem to fit more closely into opinion editorial and cultural reflections than science writing. I recall only 1 physics entry, and as a physicist I had issue with the article. Wish I could say I felt like I heard about a wide variety of science discoveries and stories, but this book really felt pigeonhole into selecting articles on culture, which I think is important, but not what the book series is advertised to provide. Also, I am not sure how I feel about the narrator changing with the sex of the author of a particular piece.
