The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2021 by Ed Yong, Jaime Green

3.0

These are always pretty interesting. I think a lot of the covid articles would have done well to have some type of preface or postscript detailing what we actually know now; and it was also notable to me that 1/6 of the articles included were from The Atlantic…and the guest editor is an editor at The Atlantic…not that they aren’t publishing many good articles, but I would have liked it to see a more diverse group of publications. Much like my feeling when I open up BASS and find that fully half of the stories were first published in The New Yorker (though usually at least the series editor there doesn’t also happen to be an editor at TNY).
