"Spider Man": The Virtuosity of Dr Martin Lister, an Early Royal Society Luminary
Dr Martin Lister (1638-1712), vice-president of the Royal Society and court physician, is best known as England's first arachnologist and conchologist. This talk will also address some of his lesser-known discoveries, including his invention of the histogram and the stratigraphic map.
