Join POST for a special evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong, author of the New York Times bestseller An Immense World. In this captivating lecture, Ed explores the extraordinary sensory worlds of animals—from the echolocation of bats to the magnetic navigation of sea turtles—revealing the hidden dimensions of reality that surround us but remain beyond human perception.
With wit, humor, and stunning visuals, Ed will share the amazing ways in which animals perceive aspects of the world that we are oblivious to, and how understanding these diverse sensory experiences can deepen our empathy for other creatures and transform our perspective on the natural world. Drawing from the latest scientific discoveries, Ed brings to life the fascinating biology of animal senses and what they reveal about perception and our shared planet.
