Lulu Miller is a Peabody Award-winning science journalist. She is the Co-Host of Radiolab (with the wonderful Latif Nasser). And she is the Host/Creator of Radiolab’s podcast for kids, Terrestrials, all about nature. She was Radiolab’s first producer 20 years ago, and it is a thrill to return as Co-Host to the world’s best team.  

​

Her book, Why Fish Don’t Exist, is an international bestseller, translated into 11 languages. It was chosen as a Best Book by The Smithsonian, NPR, The Chicago Tribune, Brainpickings, The Washington Post and was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize and the American Association for the Advancement of Science Book Prize. Her written work has been published in the New Yorker, The Paris Review, VQR and beyond. She has also won honors from The National Academy of Sciences, the Associated Press, the National Center on Disability and Journalism, and most recently an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Swarthmore College. 

​

She reports on a range of scientific topics with a special interest in disability, mental illness, and ecology. Her written work has been published in the New Yorker, The Paris Review, VQR and beyond. She serves as a Contributing Advisor to nature magazine Orion and she was the co-founder of NPR’s Invisibilia—a radio show about psychology, emotion, and human behavior (it shattered public radio history with over 50 million downloads and placement on over 400 public radio stations in first season). She recently published her debut children’s book, Trucky Roads, about trucks and, you’ll never guess this… roads; and the forthcoming children’s book The Book of Balls.
