Topic:
Down the Rabbit Hole: Arachnids in an Arizona Wonderland
Speaker:
Jillian Cowles
Since completing her education in biologist in Arizona, Jillian’s vocation has been working as a clinical microbiologist in a hospital, and her avocation has been to learn about the plants and animals in this region, its indigenous people, their history, and how they have incorporated native resources into their lives. She started photographing spiders, and the rest is history. For over ten years, she has been documenting the diversity and natural history of the arachnids of the southwestern United States, and has written a book, Amazing Arachnids, published by Princeton University Press.
