Wild Ideas Worth Living

Biking and Birding for 18,000 Miles with Dorian Anderson


Listen Later

Dorian Anderson was a neuroscientist and geneticist with a promising academic career when he made a radical shift: in 2014, he left the lab to pursue a year-long, cross-country birding adventure—on a bicycle. Pedaling nearly 18,000 miles across the U.S., his goal was to spot over 600 bird species while deepening his sobriety, and reconnecting with nature.
