In a book recording her field research, there are many instances of typhoons, of research stations being attacked by bears, of stings by hornets and such that are so painful a whole night of sleep is lost, of trying to track the elusive bears in rain and mountain fogs .... Her experiences have been worthy of the hardiest frontiersman or adventurer.
在描述她黑熊繫放研究的《黑熊手記》（2003 年商周文化出版，目前絕版）中，紀錄她多次遭遇颱風、研究站遭黑熊攻擊、被毒蜂螫到整晚劇痛無法成眠、在深山雨霧中追著出沒無常的熊蹤……，其中的危難艱辛足以媲美絕境中冒險犯難的探險家經歷。
