Peninsula Open Space Trust

Join Peninsula Open Space Trust for a special evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong, author of the New York Times bestseller An Immense World.

With wit, humor, and stunning visuals, Yong 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.
