At 13, she started to study the metamorphosis of insects, for example, the development of silkworms [...] very slowly. Sometimes she would start to draw the strange leaves on the branches that the silk- worms were eating and sitting at. And then one day the silkworms started to spin themselves into a cocoon [...] and plants. She visited plantations along the Suriname River in search of new caterpillars. She started with a 40-mile canoe expedition up the river to the plantation of Providence in April 1700, together

To summarize, Rumford can in retrospect be identified as a starting point for various develop- ment in the energy science – he carried out exper- iments that were related
