Not all scientists wear white lab coats. From space to the ocean, scientists’ work – and even their lives – can depend on what they wear whether it’s a spacesuit, polar parka, waterproof waders, hard hat, lab gloves, swim fins or camouflage. In her new STEM book Scientists Get Dressed (September 2019, Persnickety Press/WunderMill Books), Deborah Lee Rose explores how scientists suit up, gown up, gear up and dress up in costume to make new scientific discoveries, save lives and save our planet. 2019 winner of the national DeBary Award for Outstanding Science Books for Children from the American Phytopathological Society.
