About this Event

Join us on Earth Day for a special panel celebrating new books by environmental writers Cara Giaimo and Brandon Keim, moderated by science journalist Laura Poppick and spun into a party by Boston-based art-pop-rock band sidebody!

Cara Giaimo lives in Somerville, MA, with her wife, Lilia, two cats, many plants, and uncountable neighborhood rats. A former staff writer at Atlas Obscura, Cara now covers our fellow species for the New York Times, Nautilus, and elsewhere. She plays guitar in sidebody.

Part field guide, part travelogue, part cabinet of curiosities, Cara Giaimo and Joshua Foer's is the definitive traveler’s guide to the world’s most fascinating, unusual, and least-understood flora and fauna.

is a science journalist specializing in nature and animals. His latest book, (W.W. Norton), is about animal personhood and our relationships to wild animals and to nature. His work has appeared in publications including the New York Times, The Atlantic, WIRED, and Nautilus.

is a Portland-based science and environmental journalist whose stories have appeared in the New York Times, Scientific American, National Geographic, and elsewhere. Her debut book, Strata: Stories from Deep Time (W.W. Norton, July 2025), is coming out July 2025.

At the start of the pandemic, three high school friends, Hava, Martha, and Lena, found themselves together again in their moms’ garages in suburbia. They picked up instruments they didn’t know how to play, and shared moments became songs. Soon after, Hava stumbled upon a fourth friend in a basement in Somerville — Cara, playing the vibraphone — and was born.
