#SciFri: Zoo Knoxville
Today marks a year since the beginning of the first Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease (GARD) conference, held in Knoxville, Tennessee. I travelled to Knoxville alone (as I usually do for international conferences), visiting the United States for the first…
#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: Chimp Empire
As I am sure I have stated previously on this blog (if not elsewhere) when I was younger, I wanted to be a primatologist. My large collection of plush orangutans and gorillas as a child are a testament to this….
#SciFri: Visiting the Folkestone Museum
