As a prelude to the celebration of Carl Linnaeus’ 300th birthday 2007, an Internet-based course about Linnaeus’ life is given at Uppsala University. The goals of this unique course are to give knowledge about the teacher and scientist Carl Linnaeus, from a scientific and historical point of view. Experts on botany, zoology, geology, medicine, history, literature and theology introduce Linnaeus’ different fields of research. Special focus is given to his main topic, systematic botany. Details at: http://www.ibg.uu.se/en/courses/linnaeus/index.html Registration is free but must be done by fax by 15 April 2006. The course starts in September 2006 and runs to January 2007. Sounds ideal for anyone who would like to strengthen their understanding of the history of plant classification.
