Ferris Jabr is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and the author of "Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life," which reviewers have described as an “electrifying” and “infectiously poetic” “masterwork of journalism” that “earns its place alongside the best of today’s essential popular science books, as well as acknowledged classics.” He has also written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harper’s, National Geographic and Scientific American, among other publications.
