I was drawn to Why Fish Don't Exist because of Lulu Miller's work on podcasts like Invisibilia from NPR. I am struck by the sensitivity and compassion she shows for the subjects of her research--including herself. I was moved to tears a couple of times while listening to it on audiobook. I came away with a greater understanding and appreciation for the contributions of scientists and taxonomists as well as for the miracle of life itself.
