    Rosemary Mosco '10

    Rosemary is a science writer and cartoonist. This non-traditional career path has taken her to weird and wonderful places. She gives keynotes at birding festivals, writes for Audubon, and publishes comics in Ranger Rick. Her Bird and Moon nature comics are collected in a 2019 ALA Great Graphic Novel for Teens. She co-wrote the New York Times best-selling Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid and published a graphic novel about space. She served as a judge for a festival of bad ad-hoc hypotheses — twice. She botanizes whenever she can, and her nature experiences inspire comics and stories.
