Dr Kate Hooper, one of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden volunteer guides, has just published a book on John Stevens Henslow, one of the founders of CPS shortly before his election as Professor of Botany at Cambridge. This new biography titled 'Who was Henslow?' is available to buy from the Cambridge University Botanic Garden shop and online at Two Perfect Circles Publishing.

2025 marks 200 years since John Stevens Henslow was appointed Professor of Botany at Cambridge. The Cambridge Philosophical Society sponsors the 'Henslow Fellowships' in his honour; these provide three-year Research Fellowship funding. The Henslow Fellowships were inaugurated in 2010 and to-date over thirty Fellows have received funding.
