[BSW] Next meeting: September 7 + Misc.

[KATHY BILTON]

Our next meeting is coming up in less than a month, Tuesday, September 7 
at 7pm.

As is the custom in September, it will be Members' Night.

The September Members' Night will provide an opportunity for several 
members to share some of their botanical travel or research slides, or to 
present other short subjects (10 minutes or less) to which this format is 
especially suited. Members who plan to present slides should send an email 
to Marcos Caraballo at CaraballoM at si.edu

There will be a waiting room before one can enter the Zoom session. Please 
make sure your device indicates your name rather than something like 
"Bob's iPad."

Tuesday, August 24 - 9am EDT

“Join us on Aug 24 for a close look at Anna 
Atkins and her pioneering cyanotypes. It will be led by our knowledgable 
librarian, Will Beharrell. Anna Atkins is one of natural history’s unsung 
heroes. A pioneering botanist and photographer, her Photographs of British 
Algae: Cyanotype Impressions, published in 1843, is often described as the 
first book to be illustrated with photographic images. This event is part 
of our Linnean Lens event series. Join us every month for detailed looks 
at the provenance and significance of some our treasures.”
