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.
