Matthew Holmes is a postdoctoral fellow in environmental history at the University of Stavanger, where he examines the modern history of the house sparrow in urban spaces. He writes on the history of biotechnology, morphology, and natural history.

In its examination of graft hybridization’s trajectory as a rival to Mendelian genetics, The Graft Hybrid offers an excellent case study of how scientific consensus is built not only on objectivity but also on ideology and contingency.
