Jellyfish Scientist: Maude Delap and Her Mesmerizing Medusas
Michelle Cusolito, illustrated by Ellen Rooney
This biography recounts scientist Maude Delap’s research on jellyfish. After taking a jellyfish from the water, she observed it for more than a year and traced its life cycle from larva to adult. Her work with a compass jellyfish in 1899 and 1900 achieved something other scientists had not managed and helped establish a basis for research that continues today. The book follows her patient observations and experiment.
