Cover of the book shows the title, Jellyfish Scientist: Maude Delap and
her Mesmerizing Medusas by Michelle Cusolito, illustrated by Ellen Rooney. Maude looks out at
the reader through a bell jar holding a jellyfish medusa. A JLG medal is on the bottom right.
Today is #WorldJellyfishDay! A great day to introduce young readers to Maude Delap, a pioneering scientist from rural Ireland who was the first person to raise them in captivity through their full life cycle. She did this back in 1899! #kidslovenonfiction #STEAM #JellyfishScientist
