americas. you alexander from whom boyd was for sure one of the greatest scientists of previous times of all times when he was the most famous scientist of his time and i think he's undergoing a little bit of a renaissance at the moment and i think quite rightly so because i think his views . how he brings together the arts and the science how he says that we need to use our imagination and our feelings to understand nature i think are very relevant today as we are dealing with climate change so no one dares to talk about the wonder of nature of the beauty of nature the vulnerable beauty of our planet and i think that something that. something we could use a bit of that we could probably use today. alexander was born to wealthy parents in bergen in 1769 after a brief career working for the pressure on government he used his inheritance to embark on the adventure of a lifetime and set off for america at the age of 30 accompanied by the french explorer and botanist anybody who traveled to venezuela and from there to cuba colombia peru mexico and ecuador he collected plant specimens observed animals
