Occupation | Botanical Historian |
Location | Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom |
Introduction | In the context of the 70/70 Challenge I'm a cyclist and have been all my life. Perversely, I rather like riding up hills. I am also a Botanical Historian, focusing particularly on David Douglas (1799-1834), and based in Sheffield, UK. Although I spent my working life as a career civil servant in the UK I graduated with an honours degree (1971) and doctorate (1975) in botany and experimental plant ecology. It has been a long time since I was a practising field botanist! I am a Churchill Fellow (2001) and co-producer of the film "Finding David Douglas" www.findingdaviddouglas.org |
