A note from the Editor
To introduce myself, I have a background in both science and art, having painted in my spare time through my art project C W Nature Art, while studying BSc Geology & Petroleum Geology at University of Aberdeen, and Msc Applied & Petroleum Micropalaeontology at University of Birmingham. I was always inspired by the natural landscape of my homecountry, Scotland (UK). After university I began working in academic publishing and as a freelance science journalist, and realised an increasing need for scientists to engage their research with the wider public. This not only supports the researchers but also invites a wider community into niche areas of study. I believe that artists also have a similar need to reach out and allow a wider community to enjoy their work. With the idea that art and science can be combined based on a common interest in nature, I set up NatureVolve.com, having received encouraging interest from all around the world. Thank you to those who have shown support, and to all contributors and guest writers. Best wishes and enjoy,
