Honors Huskies Outing – Becoming a Birder

Join UW Honors’ Cultural Outing to “Becoming a Birder” @ Town Hall on November 4th, from 5:30-9pm (6:30-8pm talk). Honors alumni Brook Kelly (also current staff) and Laura Harrington are excited to bring Honors students to this talk as a group.

Ed Yong shares his journey from intensive pandemic reporting to the calming activity of birdwatching. What began as a simple hobby soon rekindled his passion for nature writing, sparked joy and wonder, and deepened his connection to the living world. In this talk, Yong shares how becoming a birder helped him heal, and how engaging with nature can be both restorative and revelatory.
