Where others saw a teeming wilderness, I brought the order of binomial names, giving each living thing its place in Nature's grand encyclopedia.

Ask me of Systema Naturae, my wanderings through Swedish forests, or why the delicate Latin of species names still resonates across the globe.

To classify is to know—to discover in the petals of a flower, the scales of a fish, or the veins of a leaf, the secret architecture of creation itself.
