"the book’s poignancy & depth place it shoulder to shoulder with other similar great works such as Ostaseski’s The Five Invitations & Gawande’s Being Mortal. ...highly recommended for learners, practitioners, and anyone else seeking insight and resilience navigating the process of death and dying."

Thank you to Michael Layne, MD & the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine for this wonderful review! "LeBaron’s storytelling offers profound lessons for students of family medicine"
I know Sam would have been so touched by this recognition from his colleagues.

Congratulations Sarah!

The Secret Life of a Scientist at the End of the World We climb glaciers and take minute measurements to understand the threats to our future. This is the story of my last, and most dramatic, trip to the Arctic.

My Narratively piece from 2019 was integral to writing my book. Narratively reposted it to celebrate my book launch. www.narratively.com/p/the-secret...

"Part memoir of mental wellness and illness, part ode to learning from glaciers and forests, Meltdown is a remarkable account of the grit, joy, and danger of field research—and the power of stories alongside science." Bathsheba Demuth, author of Floating Coast

"Meltdown is a real-life science thriller […] a clear-eyed, courageous look at the costs of being female in field science, suffused with deep love for the wild places where glaciers live." Susan J. Tweit, field botanist and author of Bless the Birds
