307 B. Rosemary Grant: The Winding and Wondrous Road of a Pioneering Evolutionary Biologist, Research Partner-Wife, and Mother
B. Rosemary Grant, PhD, Research Scholar Emerita at Princeton
University, is world-renowned for 40 years of pioneering fieldwork, with her
husband, Peter, on two uninhabited islands in the Galapagos archipelago.
Their studies of Darwin’s finches in their natural environment have made
enormous contributions to evolutionary biology and ecology. In her memoir-
-One Step Sideways, Three Steps Forward--Rosemary chronicles her
amazing journey: teaching in the Finnish fashion; marrying and forming a
research partnership; earning her PhD at age 49; raising two young
daughters in the Galapagos; teaching and writing; receiving numerous
international awards; and advocating, world-wide, for advancing younger
women’s careers in science. Rosemary’s research and publications have
significant applications for broader areas, such as medicine and cultural
cooperation.
Quote Following your passion does not mean everything has to go in a
straight line; sideways steps can lead to huge leaps forward.
