Here they tell their stories with a combination of humour and awe, inspiring the reader to look more closely at the wonders that surround us.” – Dr Steve Morton * Author of Australian Deserts *“Wild Science is a nature-lovers delight, and Helen Waudby has done a fantastic job in bringing together insights from a diverse field of contributors” – Dr Phil Tucak * Wildlife Outreach Vet (LinkedIn) *
