Nice to visit the Natural History Museum in Oxford today @morethanadodo and see some of my #GlassMicrobiology on permanent display. Adjoining @Pitt_Rivers one of my favourite collections in the world
1/2 Well this article made my day! First attempt to model whether humanity has any chance of getting to a safe and just operating space - where humanity's needs are met without breaching any planetary boundaries. Drumroll... the answer is... yes. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

In case we haven’t shouted about it enough... Oxford Prof William Buckland wrote the first ever scientific description of a dinosaur!
He described Megalosaurus using fossils such as the iconic jawbone, held in the collections @morethanadodo.

Stunning location this eve at the Museum of Natural History for a fascinating lecture by Lindsay Turnbull (@queensoxbiology), centred around her exceptional new book, Biology: The Whole Story! Thank you to everyone who came along! X
🐯🐟🐝The number of assessed species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is now 157,190, with over 44,000 threatened with #extinction.
The IUCN Red List is the most comprehensive inventory of the #conservation status of plant and animal species.
The first-ever State of the World’s Migratory Species Report found nearly half (44%) of CMS-listed migratory species are showing population declines.
Data from the IUCN Red List was instrumental in informing the conclusions of the report.

The first ever @IUCNRedList assessment of the #Himalayan#wolf was recently published.
Led by WildCRU’s Geraldine Werahn, this follows a decade of research work to confirm ‘Canis lupus chanco’ is genetically distinct from wider ranging Holarctic grey wolves.
