Google Celebrates Biologist Rachel Louise Carson's 107 Birth Anniversary via Today's Doodle
Today, search engine giant Google has put up a new doodle on its home-page to highlight the 107th birth anniversary of the American marine biologist and author Rachel Louise Carson. The Doodle features a sketch of Carson standing at a riverside with a pair of binoculars around her neck and a notebook in her hand. In the same doodle, you will also see birds in the sky and aquatic animals in the river.
Born on May 27, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania, Carson is famous for advancing the global environment movement through her writings. Carson who was also a conservationist had a great passion for environment and had spent a lot of time exploring the forests and streams around her home.
