About the author

The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, usually called the Royal Society, is a learned society founded in 1660. It is widely described as the world’s oldest national scientific academy still in existence, and it has long played a central role in promoting science in Britain.

Over the centuries, the Society has brought together many remarkable scientists as Fellows, including figures such as Isaac Newton, J. J. Thomson, and Stephen Hawking. It is also known for publishing scientific research, supporting scientists, recognizing excellence through awards and fellowships, and offering scientific advice on public issues.

Its origins go back to a group of natural philosophers who met in London after the Restoration period, with royal approval following soon after under Charles II. Today, the Royal Society remains one of the most respected scientific institutions in the world, linking a long history of discovery with ongoing research and public engagement.
