Bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong invites audiences on a thrilling journey into the hidden worlds of animal senses. Based on his acclaimed book An Immense World, this eye-opening evening explores how other creatures experience sights, sounds, smells and sensations far beyond our own human perception. With humor, wonder and dazzling storytelling, the winner of the 2021 George Polk Award for science reporting reveals a planet alive with electric messages, magnetic maps and vibrations we cannot feel. Yong’s work challenges us to see the world not only as it appears to humans, but as it is through the eyes, ears and skins of other species.
