"Jake is that gem of a writer who is a true collaborator in the editing process. Rather than merely accept suggestions from editors, he adds insights that enrich his stories. I look forward to a draft from Jake because I know I will learn something new about our wild, wondrous world, and because his writing will pop from the very start. His reporting combines lightheartedness and scientific rigor in a way that's a joy to read."
