Making Waves
Memoir of a Marine Botanist
by
Marilyn Miler Harlin
At age eight Marilyn Harlin already knew she wanted to be a scientist. Throughout the peaks and valleys in her life—including widowhood when her husband fell off a mountain in Switzerland, and the challenges of raising two children on her own--she kept her eyes on her goal and eventually joined the faculty at the University of Rhode Island as its only female botany professor. Marilyn’s mission in her career and into retirement has been to inspire youth, especially girls, to venture into the sciences. Making Waves is a memoir of a progressive life lived with passion.
Marilyn Harlin’s childhood in the woods of Washington State played a large role in developing her love of science. She attended Stanford University for a degree in biology, and later earned a doctorate degree in marine botany from the University of Washington. Marilyn has published many works in scientific journals, but Making Waves is her first memoir.
