Kirkus: “Rose puts an unusually diverse gallery of researchers on the figurative runway…an eye-opening catalog of stem wear.”

School Library Connection: “…the unique focus of this title offers a whole new look and perspective for the genre. It will help both youngsters and adults broaden their views about the scientific profession and the people who work within this field.”

From space to the ocean, scientists’ work—and their lives—can depend on what they wear whether a spacesuit, lab coat, parka, waders, hard hat, gloves, swim fins or camouflage. Deborah Lee Rose explores how scientists suit up, gown up, gear up and dress up to make new discoveries, save lives and save our planet. 

Scientists Get Dressed spotlights a diversity of scientists dressed for their jobs from research lab to rocky desert, sunlit forest canopy to dark bat caves, buzzing beehives to beyond Earth’s atmosphere. A marine biologist in snorkel, mask and swim fins dives beneath the waves to satellite tag a massive, endangered whale shark, in one of the book’s expanded spreads and an educational poster on the jacket’s reverse side. The book includes information from Cornell Lab of Ornithology about how kids can get involved in citizen science. The Scientists’ Glove Challenge STEM activity in the book uses inexpensive materials, to help learners experiencE how important scientists’ clothing is to their work.
