“Studying Natural History has been a huge part of my life and it was a great honour when I was elected as a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London in 2007. Carl Linnaeus continues to be an inspirational figure in the history of science and it was a great pleasure to sculpt this portrait bust for the Society.”
