Catherine Mas studies the history of science in the U.S.– Caribbean context. Her current book project, “Sweet Captivity: A History of Primate Science from Cuba to the United States,” centers on Cuban heiress Rosalía Abreu, whose extraordinary collection of apes helped launch a new era of medical experimentation and psychological research.
