Pulitzer Prize-winning author Siddhartha Mukherjee, a leading cancer physician and researcher, selects the year's top science and nature writing from journalists who dive into their fields with curiosity and passion, delivering must-read articles from a wide array of fields.

These dispatches explore the human labor behind urgent discoveries, accompanying doctors engineering cellular vaccines against lethal tumors and wildlife ecologists venturing into Ugandan bat caves to isolate emergent viruses. Natural History: Rick Bass chronicles the western larches of Montana's Yaak Valley, documenting how individual trees survive severe fires across six centuries to anchor the northern Rockies ecosystem.
