About this listen

Episode 10. Maria Sibylla Merian.

A naturalist, an illustrator, the first entomologist, a huge inspiration to many ... and a woman in the 1600s. We talk about the tremendous science and art of Maria Sibylla Merian and her two daughters, including the expedition to Surinam, and how this work has impacted science today. 

Two biology researchers approach the science of life, debunk myths, and maybe have a few laughs along the way.
