Please welcome Michelle Nijhuis, the newest Person of LWON—and, given her street address, the one least likely to be stalked in the physical world. Michelle seems to spend a great deal of her time winning awards and fellowships, but that’s not why we like her. Rather, it’s because of the moments she sets aside to write evocative, heartfelt stories about conservation and global change and, as often as not, people who are trying to do something good—and perhaps a little nutty—for the world we all share. And that’s just part of why we think she’ll fit in so well.
