Owl

A patient observer who illuminates what others overlook.

Ed Yong, the Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist at The Atlantic, embodies the owl's deep analytical wisdom and preference for watching and listening before speaking. His landmark work 'An Immense World' reflects an almost obsessive drive to understand how other creatures perceive reality, while his meticulous COVID-19 reporting showed a rare ability to synthesise vast complexity into profound clarity. Private and thoughtful rather than self-promoting, he lets his extraordinary insight do the talking.
