The Royal Society (RS) acknowledges the achievements of its fellows as part of its 350th year celebrations

As part of its activities to celebrate its 350th anniversary, the Royal Society (RS) has launched a Local Heroes programme. Fifty museums, galleries and libraries around the country are celebrating their local scientific heroes - historical and contemporary fellows of the RS, or individuals who have influenced the work of a fellow.
