Britt Wray is an author and researcher working at the forefront of climate change and mental health. Britt's latest book, Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis (Knopf 2022) seamlessly merges scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show how climate fears and anxieties are a sign of our humanity, and acknowledging, valuing, and learning to live with them is key to making it through present and future crises. Britt is the author of the widely read Gen Dread newsletter about "staying sane in the climate crisis" (gendread.substack.com). She is also a Human and Planetary Health Fellow at Stanford University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Her first book - Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics and Risks of De-Extinction – is about a new scientific movement that aims to bring extinct species back to life, and is published by Greystone Books and the David Suzuki Institute. The New Yorker, Sunday Times, and Science News called it a "Best Book" of 2017. The foreword is written by George Church of Harvard University and MIT, who is using genome-editing techniques to create woolly mammoth traits in elephant cells in his lab. Britt's work has been featured in international media, including The New York Times, The New Yorker, Washington Post, The Guardian, TIME, and Globe and Mail. She is a TED speaker and presenter and producer of several radio programs, podcasts and TV shows that have aired on the BBC and CBC.
