Ramona Ausubel brings science—and wooly mammoths—to life in the gendered, class conscious, and discovery-driven world of her new novel The Last Animal, a 2025 Science + Literature Selected Title. Join Ausubel for a reading and conversation on science as inspiration for writing fiction and for dreaming of a possible future for our planet.

Moderated by author, researcher, and 2025 Science + Literature committee member Dr. Beronda L. Montgomery.

Presented in partnership with Metropolitan Community College.
