Edward P. Bass Distinguished Lecture
Bicycling, Birding and #BLM Across America in a Summer of Chaos
“During summer 2020 I undertook a 76-day, ~3800 mile bicycle trip across the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, encountering extraordinary people, landscapes, and birds as I wheeled my way through towns on the brink of collapse, Native American lands, and vast private ranches. Witnessing people’s reactions to #BlackLivesMatter and other pressing issues taught me about the forces causing division in this country and how we can mend them.”
