#SlugStories "The big thing I took away is slowing down and paying attention to the little things that are so easy to overlook, especially in this crazy, fast-paced world we're living in, where we’re rarely taught to slow down and appreciate what is around us.”

It is not uncommon for undergraduates at UC Santa Cruz to coauthor, or contribute to, papers that appear in academic journals. It's far less common to write a book. As an undergrad at UC Santa Cruz Nathalie Martin (College Nine '17, environmental studies) authored the ‘Field Guide to Plants of UC Santa Cruz’,’ a 173-page volume filled with photographs, maps, and tips that inspire others to build their knowledge of local plants. The field guide is part of a series of natural history field guides being produced by the UCSC Campus Natural Reserve, following student-authored books about spiders, birds, fungus, slime molds, and ethnobotany.
