"Being able to see and taste a scientific concept blew my mind! As a fellow creative, Rose’s grasp, understanding and vision of both science and desserts is incredibly inspiring. It’s like she is straddling a glacier crevasse — one foot in science and the other in food — whipping up a delicious bridge between both worlds! I cannot wait to see what she creates next."
- Emily Fielder, recipient of the Glacier Collection dessert box
"While we talked about glaciers, we also ate glaciers, and Rose's dessert was the real showstopper of the meal:
two layers of panna cotta (one colored with blue spirulina to mimic packed blue glacier ice) and a charcoal-tinted "glacier sediment" crumble, topped with a sheet of meringue. Once you cracked through the meringue with your spoon, the liquid center of the dessert spilled out, mimicking flood water bursting from the glacier and down into the valley below (in this case, onto your plate)."

Antarctic science communicators Rose McAdoo and Ariel Waldman celebrate the launch of Waldman's PBS show Life Unearthed with a three-foot tardigrade cake—each flavor representing one of the five planetary extinctions tardigrades have survived over 500 million years.
