Prof. Harberd will discuss the writing of his book ‘Seed to Seed’, in particular, the fusion of the experimental scientific approach to nature with more traditional ‘natural history’ writing. ‘Seed to Seed’, which shows how science can enhance our vision of the world, was published to international critical acclaim by Bloomsbury in 2006.
Nicholas Harberd was a project leader at the world-renowned John Innes Centre in Norwich for many years. In 2008 he became Sibthorpian Professor of Plant Science at the University of Oxford, and was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2009.
