#1 - Anand Varma (National Geographic Photographer & Explorer)

from All My Friends Have ADHD · host Laurel Chor

My very first guest is Anand Varma, a National Geographic photographer and Explorer based in Berkeley, California. With his background in biology, Anand uses innovative photographic techniques – sometimes making his own equipment – to capture the natural world in ways that have never been seen. His photographs have shown the hidden life cycles of bees, lightning-fast hummingbird behavior, and jaw-dropping close-ups of parasites that take over insects' bodies. On this episode he shares how he recently realized he had ADHD and took his methodical scientific approach to figuring out his brain. Recorded on Feb. 11, 2025 in Washington, DC during the National Geographic Storytellers Summit. Send us Fan MailWatch episode videos on YouTube Follow us on Instagram: @allmyfriendshaveadhdFollow Laurel on Instagram: @laurelchorNew episodes every other Monday.
