Through stories both raucous and poignant of far-flung expeditions, finding artistic inspiration in research, and traversing the systemic barriers women and mothers face in science and politics, she brings readers into the daily rhythms and intimacies of scientific research and political negotiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrounded in her experiences as a climate scientist, an environmental policy advisor to Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Governor Mark Dayton, and a constant juggler of the many roles and responsibilities of professional mums, Henderson's eclectic, unconventional essays range from observations, confessions, and meditations on lab and fieldwork to a packing list for a trip to the State Capitol and a lactation diary. Readers are invited on voyages as far afield as the Trinity nuclear test site in New Mexico, the Juneau Icefield in Alaska, and a meteor crater in Ghana — and as close to home as a town hall meeting in America's corn belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA love letter to science and a bracing (and sometimes hilarious) portrait of the many obstacles women, mothers, and people digging for truth navigate, \u003ci\u003eCore Samples\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the messy, contradictory humanity of our scientific and political institutions. Bringing us behind the closed doors of discovery and debate, Henderson exposes the flaws in research institutions, the halls of government, and the role of science in policy, yet she shows how each crack is also an invitation for camaraderie, creativity, and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803920322796,"sku":"9781517916046","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11925343482728.jpg?v=1757411391"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/anna-farro-henderson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
