At the next Secret Science Club, we ascend into the treetops of the world’s jungles and mountains with pioneering ecologist & author Meg Lowman. In forests from Australia to Ethiopia to California’s redwoods, she explores the stunning riot of creatures that thrive in the leaves above, as well as the stars of the forest show—the trees themselves.

Meg Lowman has spent her life climbing in forest canopies—conducting innovative & adventurous research in the treetops. A biologist, ecologist, and author, Dr. Lowman is the executive director of the TREE Foundation and a professor at the National University of Singapore, Arizona State University, and Universiti Sains Malaysia. Nicknamed the “Real-Life Lorax” by National Geographic and “Einstein of the Treetops” by the Wall Street Journal, Dr. Lowman is the author of over 150 scientific papers, and her most recent book is The Arbornaut: A Life Discovering the Eighth Continent in the Trees Above Us.
