Proud of my friend Nai for her Conservation Biology commentary paper! This is her story: nairadegracia.medium.com/fury-to-public… TLDR: She got mad in a conservation biology class (as one does), wrote a paper, and thru the process, learned so much more than most con bio programs offer.
"For de Gracia, 'the crazy joy of remote living' meant 5 months studying penguins 'at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, just above' the Antarctic Circle...An intriguing, introspective account." #TheLastColdPlace by Naira de Gracia Kirkus Reviews spr.ly/60193oEL9
It's publication day for #TheLastColdPlace and author Naira de Gracia! Lab Girl meets Why Fish Don’t Exist in this brilliant, fascinating memoir about a young scientist’s experience studying penguins in Antarctica: spr.ly/6016O17LO
Working in extreme Antarctic conditions, Naira de Gracia studied predators and prey, birds and seals. Along the way, she searched for a sense of home in one of the world's wildest places, discovering fragility, terror, and ultimately, the magic of life. bit.ly/cw_penguins
The scale of the loss is unprecedented. Naira de Gracia explains what scientists monitoring a handful of emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica saw through satellite imagery. Very hard to imagine what these penguins felt leaving their chicks behind. 😢 nautil.us/thousands-of-p…
We spoke with Naira de Gracia, a writer and biologist with extensive fieldwork experience in remarkable locations on Earth, including the #Antarctic. We deep dive in her last book: The Last Cold Place: A Field Season Studying Penguins in #Antarctica 🐧 asoc.org/ice-archive/in…
