Linnaeus, the Second Adam

Presented by
Dr. Robbin Moran
Author and Curator of Ferns at the New York Botanical Garden

Dr. Moran says, "Linnaeus is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of biology. This talk covers how he got his surname, his enormous ego, the development of his sexual system of classification and his reactions to his critics. There are a lot of fun stories about him in these topics."

For more information, call Carol Lemmon, 203-488-7813. A flier can be downloaded.
