#SciFri: Visiting Kew Gardens
Roughly a year ago, I visited Kew Gardens for the first time since I was a child. It had been that long since I had actually been there, that it wasn’t at all like I remembered. I can only assume…
#SteveReviews: Our Great National Parks
It isn’t every day that a former President of the United States narrates a wildlife documentary series, especially given that the dominant force within the genre is Sir David Attenborough. It was a surprise when I opened Netflix one day…
#SteveReviews: Beyond The Trigger
It has been 10 months since a large number of familiar faces from the wildlife conservation scene within the UK descended on a pub in Archway, London for a very special occasion. I know, I’m a tad behind the times…
#SteveReviews: Our Planet II
It is always a bright day when a new Sir David Attenborough documentary drops, although Our Planet II is a series like no other. As the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed nature documentary series Our Planet, it once again…
#StevesLibrary: Spirals in Time
It has been some time since I last wrote a book review for #StevesLibrary, and I’m still catching up on other posts too (watch this space). I recently finished Spirals in Time by Helen Scales, a book that I’ve been…

#SciFri: DICE Annual Lecture 2023
I’m lucky that at the University of Kent, we have the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE), where I have spent the past four and a half years working on my PhD. I will be sad in a month…
#SciFri: Herpetofauna Workers Meeting 2023
It sure has been a hot minute since I last posted on this blog! Sorry that it has been since July, I’ve been busy with wrapping up my PhD, and then taking a break from everything afterwards so that I…
#StevesLibrary: Bee Quest
After finishing to read His Imperial Majesty recently, I thought I’d keep with the entomological theme and read Bee Quest. Insects are one of those groups of animals that fascinate me deeply, but were just beaten by amphibians and reptiles….
