Brendan Borrell is an award-winning journalist and the author of The First Shots, which tells the inside story of Operation Warp Speed and the coronavirus vaccine race. People magazine called it “a stunning look at politics, greed, ego – and scientific brilliance.”
His essays and reporting have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Esquire, Bloomberg Businessweek, National Geographic, and Rolling Stone. He has tracked down the Canadian maple syrup thieves, penetrated the secretive world of British mole catchers, and come face-to-face with the most powerful man in parrot-collecting. As a correspondent for Outside magazine, he searched for a whimsical French adventurer who went missing in Alaska and piloted a kayak from the heart of California's Central Valley to the edge to the San Francisco Bay.
Brendan grew up in Texas and received a Ph.D. in biology from UC Berkeley in 2006 before turning full-time to journalism. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
