          History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the
          University of Toronto.  She is a leading authority on the
          history of biology and its institutions.  Her latest book,
          "Reading the Shape of Nature: Comparative Zoology at the

          importance of museums in general, and should interest anyone
          who wants to understand them better.
