The Frog Scientist
A hop, skip, and a jump are all part of a day’s fun if you’re a leopard frog being studied by Tyrone Hayes and his team of graduate students. From Harvard scholar to Berkley professor, Hayes is a respected biologist and mentor to many young scientists. Vivid photographs show his work studying the effects of pesticides on frog development. He is presented as both a dedicated researcher and a regular guy who enjoys jokes and family time. A fascinating look at a modern scientist. Ages 9-11.
