It's Evolutionary Fact Friday! As @ChrisGPackham said, when he came to visit us, we have to stop thinking of ourselves as above nature. Evolution teaches us we are part of nature. We have our part to play in preserving the environment.

Fab day last Friday with @ChrisGPackham visiting us to chat about all things evolution. So much of our work has synergies with his. Over the day he met with staff & students & also gave an amazing free public lecture. Lots of people said it was the best talk they've ever seen! 🀩
