SMA member Rob Lerner writes,
Here’s a conversation with science writer Carl Zimmer. Carl rather memorably Skyped into our science bookclub session on his book, She Has Her Mother’s Laugh before the book went on to earn awards and recognition. I’ve maintained communication with Carl, and we can expect him to deliver an i3 presentation on “Looking Back on the Coronavirus”; once we’re able to finally do that (look back at it!).
Here’s the interview:
