We hope you have enjoyed learning more about, Beatrix Potter, the creator of Peter Rabbit and many other amazing animal characters!  Please keep in mind that the errors made in her day, by a generally over-confident and elitist scientific community, can teach us a great deal about the value of holding onto humility today, when evaluating new research.

Enjoy!
