The Tinbergen Society is delighted to host Professor Richard Fortey FRS FRSL for its annual lecture, when he will be discussing his life and experience in palaeontology. A renowned science communicator, he has written numerous books such as ‘Trilobite!: Eyewitness to Evolution’ alongside presenting multiple BBC Four documentaries including ‘Nature’s Wonderlands: Islands of Evolution’ and ‘Fossil Wonderlands: Nature’s Hidden Treasures’. It promises to be a fascinating talk.

The Tinbergen Society is the society of biologists at Merton College. Named after renowned ethologist and Merton alumnus Niko Tinbergen, the Society meets for social events, to discuss biology, and to promote and celebrate the subject.
