Thank you for this most informative link. I admit that I never heard of island or the gentleman before. I think I will read everything in more detail tonight.

Thanks for sharing that - most interesting; I’d actually never heard of the island before; it’s always great learning new things!

”… his research on living and fossilized fish that he conducted while residing in a hut situated beside a Swiss glacier.”

Yep! Definitely like Stephen . . . *grin*

” MBL compiled an online herbarium cataloging the 9,000 species of plants observed on the Elizabeth Islands and Cape Cod since 1850…”

Stephen would have had a field day (no pun intended) with that . . . if he could have been prevailed upon to use the internet!

Actually I think that’s quite an interesting discussion - do you think Jack or Stephen would have been the one to make use of new technology? Or both?
