What Comes Naturally: The Science and Soul of Nature Writing

In this panel sponsored by Heyday, four authors meet at a crossroads between hard science and visual sumptuousness. Obi Kaufmann turns his artist's palette on California's most contested natural resource, water; while Josie Iselin wades into the deep end with the magic of seaweed. John Muir Laws & Emilie Lygren take us into the revelatory practice of nature journaling. How do these artists learn the ecological nitty gritty of their subjects? How does nature writing deepen the impact of scientific research?
