A Conversation with Octavia Cade
by Arley Sorg
New Zealand author Octavia Cade had always planned to be a scientist when she grew up. “But as much as I love science, scientific writing sucked all my enthusiasm out. It’s the worst. It’s boring and inaccessible and scientists have no right to whine about people misunderstanding science when they have done everything they can to keep them from it.” Cade studied botany as an undergrad, and “became fascinated with algae and the intertidal zone.” She earned her master’s in biology, looking at reproductive strategies of a native seagrass, and her PhD in science communication at the University of Otago, “the biggest scicomm center in the world . . . and it’s a fantastic place to study.” ....

Deep sadness overwhelmed David Fishman last summer when the National Library announced that it was closing its doors temporarily under the constraints of the coronavirus pandemic. Although Prof. Fishman lives a very long way from the reading rooms of the Jerusalem institution, his study of the heroic operation to rescue Jewish books during the Holocaust had brought home to him how crucial they are for the spiritual and cultural survival of humanity.
In a conversation from his home in New York last month, he said, verging on tears, that he found it difficult to come to terms with the fact that the protagonists of his book – a group of Vilna Ghetto prisoners – had risked their lives to rescue volumes from the clutches of the Germans 80 years ago, but now the Jewish state was being forced to shut down libraries because of the epidemic. ....
