I feel like Science and Nature Writing is a bit of a misnomer for this collection of essays. The Best American Nature Writing is much more accurate. For every essay about physics or medicine, there were three about climate change. Now, this is not a bad thing, most of these were very interesting and thought provoking, it's just not what I thought I was getting into. I would have preferred some more variety.
All that being said, these essays were extremely well done and engaging. These were a few of my favorites in this collection:
Heads Up! The Cardiovascular Secrets of Giraffes by Bob Holmes
How Rising Groundwater Caused by Climate Change Could Devastate Coastal Communities by Kendra Pierre-Louis
Black Bears, Black Liberation by Rae Wynn-Grant
Humanity is Flushing Away One of Life's Essential Elements by Julia Rosen
Poisoned Part 1: The Factory by Corey G. Johnson, Rebecca Woolington, and Eli Murray
Quantum Enlightenment by Ruth Robertson
