Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), began his academic career in Lund by studying medicine and botany for a year before moving to Uppsala. He is known as the father of modern Taxonomy (biology), and is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology. Pehr Henrik Ling (1776-1839) is considered the prime developer of natural gymnastics, the father of Swedish massage, and one of the most important contributors to the development and spread of modern physical therapy. Carl Adolph Agardh (1787-1859) made important contributions to the study of algae and played an important role as a politician in raising educational standards in Sweden.
