On October 15th at 6:00 pm during Art Walk Edmonds, award-winning journalist Roberta Kwok will be at Edmonds Bookshop discussing her new book, Lost in Curiosity (Sourcebooks, 2026.)
Roberta Kwok is a science writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, NewYorker.com, Nature, New Scientist, Audubon, and other publications. She has received a fellowship from the Knight Science Journalism Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and awards from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Geophysical Union. Before becoming a journalist, Kwok worked in a genetics lab at Stanford University. She lives in the Seattle area and is originally from Canada.
“In Lost in Curiosity, award-winning journalist Roberta Kwok pulls back the curtain on what scientific discovery actually looks like… Not a Eureka moment, but a fraught, often chaotic pursuit of truth…
Through vivid reporting and moments of unexpected emotion, Kwok reveals the inner lives of researchers who care profoundly about understanding our world and saving what’s left of it. From enigmatic fossils and mind-bending physics to the puzzling behavior of wild animals, Lost in Curiosity is a journey through the questions that keep scientists up at night—and the sometimes strange, always illuminating paths they take to answer them.”
Lost in Curiosity has been reviewed in Science News and the Wall Street Journal (“The Five Best Books on the Human Side of Science,” August 28, 2026.)
The event at Edmonds Bookshop is free of charge and all are welcome to join.
