## Bio

Peter Simon Pallas was born in Berlin on 22 September 1741 and trained in natural sciences across universities in early modern Germany. In 1767 he accepted an invitation to the Russian Empire, where he would remain for most of the next forty-three years. His work there spanned zoology, botany, ethnography, geography, geology, and taxonomy — disciplines he practiced not from an armchair but through exploration of territories few Western scientists had seen. He was elected to the Royal Societies of both London and Edinburgh. Pallas died on 8 September 1811, having left a record of an empire's natural world just as it was being drawn into scientific view.
