From the Smithsonian Museums
Benjamin Hack is Science Writing Intern at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. He covers anything and everything related to the natural world for Smithsonian Voices, the museum’s blog. Ever fascinated by ecology, Ben studied and conducted research in biology as an undergraduate at Cornell before transitioning into science communication. His work, which has appeared in magazines such as Audubon and Living Bird, highlights both the joy of nature and the dire challenges facing the world’s biodiversity. In his spare time, Ben can often be found outside birdwatching.
