KEEP CALM AND TRUST THE SCIENCE An Extraordinary Year in the Life of an Immunologist

The Irish researcher, author, and science journalist Luke O'Neill became a media darling during the pandemic as people soaked up his print, radio, and television reports about Covid. Narrating O'Neill's latest book, Ruairi Conaghan is a great fit for the author's casual expertise and extraordinary ability to connect with his audience. The Irish narrator's brisk phrasing keeps the action going as the likable author reports the details of the pandemic's spread, describing one month of its progress per chapter from January 2020 to April 2021. O'Neill writes with the instincts and crisp language of a veteran crime reporter. His candid observations about his work, colleagues, and media experiences are oddly satisfying--like a therapeutic debriefing after a traumatic experience. T.W.
