Question
How did Ebright come in contact with Dr Urquhart?
Solution
Richard had an interest in collecting butterflies since childhood. To support it, his mother gifted him Dr Urquhart’s book, ‘The Travels of Monarch X’. The book told how monarch butterflies migrate to Central America and asked the students to help study butterfly migrations by tagging the butterflies for research by Dr Urquhart. His mother contacted the doctor and thus Ebright started tagging butterflies for Dr Urquhart. Later, he sought suggestions and guidance in his projects from Dr Urquhart. Thus the book opened the world of science to the eager young collector.
