RMS Ambassador Rob Kesseler gives talk following publication of his latest book
A fascinating talk from RMS Ambassador Rob Kesseler and his colleague Dr Wolfgang Stuppy on their art-meets-science collaboration is available to view on Youtube.
Rob and Wolfgang, who recently published a new edition of their book, Seeds: Time Capsules of Life, discuss some of the eye-catching images featured in the book - and the science behind them.
Rob is a visual artist and Emeritus Professor of Arts, Design & Science at Central Saint Martins, London. For the past twenty years he has worked with botanical scientists and molecular biologists around the world to explore the living world at a microscopic level.
He has a long association with the RMS as an ambassador for the Society, and gave a plenary talk at mmc2021 on The use of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to examine pollutant particles on leaf surfaces.
