The animal-science pioneer and autistic activist looks inside her own brain to learn about the latest research on autism in her new book, The Autistic Brain, with Richard Panek—and discovers that she’s quite face-blind.
Richard Panek is the author of three previous books, most recently The 4% Universe: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the Race to Discover the Rest of Reality. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in Science Writing, he has written frequently for The New York Times as well as Smithsonian, Natural History, Discover, Esquire, Outside, and numerous other publications.
