While urban life may feel removed from nature, in fact, animals and cities have always co-existed. So, over the centuries how have cities changed animals? What can we learn from the paths they’ve taken to co-exist in our built-worlds? My guest is award winning writer and social epidemiologist Dan Werb with the book OUR WILD FAMILIARS: How Animals Are Adapting to Cities and Reshaping the Natural World. Dan Werb is an award-winning writer and social epidemiologist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, TIME, Salon, and other outlets. His previous books include The Invisible Siege: The Rise of Coronaviruses and the Search for a Cure.
