From Svalbard Trilobites to Plate Tectonics: A Lifetime in Palaeontology
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’.
