New Books for Young Scientists
If it isn’t dinosaurs, it’s bugs. Children have an innate fascination with insects, bugs, caterpillars, butterflies and other creepy crawly critters. This can develop into a lifelong interest in science, and many of our leading researchers can trace their paths back to a small gift they received from a parent or relative that awakened their curiosity. Who knows? Maybe a holiday gift from the IFAS Extension Bookstore will lead to tomorrow’s breakthrough scientist.
