Our natural world is under pressureβfrom polluted rivers to disappearing pollinators. But nature also shows resilience. Join us for an evening of science eβ¦
If youβre in London on Tuesday night and fancy a pint, consider The Brittania in Kensington. The only downside is that youβll have to listen to me talking about poo and pondweed. pintofscience.co.uk/event/nature...
