Anne Innis Dagg is senior academic advisor in the Independent Studies Program at the University of Waterloo.
" A delightful book in many ways, Smitten by Giraffe provides some much-needed, even rare, insights into the challenges of being a field scientist, and especially a female one. Readers will find this book rewarding, entertaining, and informative." Holly Dressel, co-author of Good News for a Change "In this plainspoken memoir, Canadian zoologist chronicles her unusual life as a " citizen scientist" and the deeply ingrained sexism she experienced in academia. Rather than quietly giving up, Dagg chose to advocate for other women in academia and continue her own work as an independent scientist, doing research without academic affiliation or support. Dagg' s passionate engagement with the world shines through in all the experiences she recounts." Publishers Weekly
