A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a good day and for such good conversation. Special thanks to the CTP team, and our wonderful curators who brought out some of Pennants specimens from the collections. #HistoryOfNaturalHistory #NHMScience #Museums #HistoryOfScience

Panel 2 begins! Here is @stephholtnh.bsky.social, explaining the differences and similarities between the real letters between Thomas Pennant and Gilbert White, and the edited and polished versions that make up so much of White's classic 'Natural History of Selborne'
