On the 24th May ICE Academic Director for Biological Sciences, Dr Ed Turner, was awarded the John Spedan Lewis medal for his significant and innovative contribution to conservation at the Linnean Society of London’s annual meeting at Burlington House in Piccadilly, London.
John Spedan Lewis, founder of the John Lewis Partnership, was a skilled business man, but considered himself first and foremost a naturalist. He was a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London from 1933 until his death in 1963. The following year the John Spedan Lewis Foundation was established to support projects closely aligned to Spedan’s personal interests in the field of natural history. The John Spedan Lewis Medal was commissioned to mark the 50th anniversary of the Foundation.
Many congratulations to Dr Ed Turner on receiving this much deserved award.
