In this episode, Kelsie, Brooke, and guest host Rachel Perez learn from Catherine McNeur. Catherine McNeur is an associate professor of history at Portland State University and the author of several books. She is the recipient of several awards, including the American Society for Environmental History’s George Perkins Marsh Prize. She came on the podcast to discuss her most recent book, Mischievous Creatures. Mischievous Creatures (Basic Books, 2023) is the story of Margaretta Hare Morris and Elizabeth Carrington Morris, two women who transformed American science in the nineteenth century. Famous for her work with seventeen-year cicadas, Margaretta was an entomologist whose discoveries of insects and their impacts on farms and orchards led to her becoming one of the first women elected to both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. Margaretta’s older sister Elizabeth was a botanist who preferred anonymity to accolades. Even still, she became a trusted expert of Philadelphia’s flora who supplied the country’s leading botanists with plants, while also illustrating scientific books and articles, and authoring articles in popular science journals. Let's get into this!
