Milner Centre for Evolution @UniofBath We answer key questions, address real problems & promote dissemination of evolutionary science

Our very own Robert Kelsh is looking at master regulators: protein overlords that affect genes being turned on and off. He's doing this by looking at the stripey patterns in fish 🐟🐠. You can listen to him chat about his research here: 🎧 YouTube piped.video/uy4Dti0fi4g 1/2

We were saddened to hear about the passing of Dame Jane Goodall yesterday. She was one of the world’s great scientists and activists and my goodness, she will be missed.
“We need to collaborate, we need to get together, we need countries and individuals to work together to make this a better world so that we can be a little bit proud of what we leave for our children.” — Dr. Jane Goodall, UNESCO, 19 October 2024. Dr. Jane Goodall delivered these words at @UNESCO in a historic address before a thousand young activists, decision makers and scientists. Today, we pay tribute to a woman who changed history: Dr. Jane Goodall. A pioneer whose life was devoted to the protection of nature, the sharing of knowledge, and the respect for all living beings. At #UNESCO, she stood before the world with a message of hope, reminding us that our future depends on caring for gorillas, for wildlife, and for our common Earth. Her words were simple yet profound: hope lies in action, and each of us holds the power to protect the fragile web of life that sustains us. For generations to come, she will remain proof that another world is possible. Her passing is an immense loss — and also a renewed call to action.
