Sisters in Science and Conservation: Annette and E. Lucy Braun a Panel Discussion
Recommended for ages 13 and up.
Head out into the field with the Braun sisters, the trailblazing duo who reshaped American natural science from their shared home in Cincinnati. This panel explores the formidable legacy of E. Lucy Braun, a pioneer of forest ecology and conservation, and Annette Braun, a world-renowned entomologist and the first woman to earn a PhD from the University of Cincinnati. Join us as we discuss how their lifelong collaboration fueled groundbreaking research, saved vital ecosystems, and paved the way for women in STEM—proving that their “quiet” work in the woods was actually a scientific revolution.
