Today's highlighted talk is by Maurico Gonzalez-Ferrero @mauriciogforero.bsky.social, talking about evolutionary expansion of the human brain @royalsocietypublishing.org youtu.be/vhqKSSYMPaQ
Next up is co-organizer Alex Thornton @cornishjackdaws.bsky.social talking about social drivers of cognitive evolution @royalsocietypublishing.org. youtu.be/yb4iSyPPaaI?...
Selection shapes diverse animal minds: We recorded the talks at our @royalsocietypublishing.org discussion meeting last year to share with those who couldn’t be there. Our first speaker is Stephen Montgomery (Bristol University) @ebablab.bsky.social. youtu.be/BzmRZlhTcrc?...
Well done to MSc student @lucyhouliston.bsky.social, amazing achievement to be featured in the Natural History Museum’s brand new Fixing Our Broken Planet exhibition!
Aw, thank you! Very grateful to @nhm-london.bsky.social and @reservaylt.bsky.social 🦏
Wonderful to see work by @rhulbiology.bsky.social alumna @alexmcgoran.bsky.social and current MSc student @lucyhouliston.bsky.social presented at the newly opened Fixing Our Broken Planet gallery @nhm-london.bsky.social!
I’m so glad! We had so much fun recording it. Time to resurrect The Weed Trust…

Have you come across the Our Plant Stories podcast yet? It's well worth a listen 😃 The latest episode is with Lucy Houliston, who's currently working with us to research biodiversity in London's orchards.

This interview was so much fun! Thanks to Claire at @batconservation.bsky.social for turning my ramblings into something meaningful, and to the bats for being iconically and unashamedly odd (I think we should all be a little bit more bat, don’t you?). NightWatch is a brilliant project to be part of!
Well—this is exciting… I can’t wait to share more about this soon! 🤐

Hey there! We're Reserva, a bunch of kids and young people from 30+ countries working to create protected areas in biodiversity hotspots. We mostly meet virtually to plan fundraisers for our projects, but we've gotten to know each other at school talks, social meetups, conferences, and expeditions!
