Fascinating interview with @corinne_fowler on her new book, viewing colonialism through country walks. Colonialism is never far from the surface in Thomas Pennant's tours of Wales and Scotland, which helped create the British taste for walking holidays.

Reaching 1.5mm in diameter and just 0.64mm across, the ‘dot snail’ (Punctum pygmaeum) is the smallest Landsnail in Europe. Widespread in U.K. A few examples from the collection are shown below: @LinneanSociety @BNAscience @Nat_SCA @BritSciAssoc @NHM_Science @morethanadodo
7-fold symmetry is very rare in nature & only two species are known. A cacti Aztekium hintonii and a tiny mollusc Caecum heptagonum (both found in Mexico) Even crystals do not grow with seven fold symmetry! Caecum heptagonum from the collections: @LinneanSociety @BNAscience

They included two of what might have been my first trip to @NHM_London in 1978 (judging from the age of my sister plus questionable clothing choices) in the old dino gallery with Dippy
Distance at which sheep become picturesque. Sheep fencing 101 after a tree fall, with my 80 years old farming mum. She’s an inspiration and a life long custodian of the Norfolk countryside. 🐑 🌳 💚 #NorfolkFarmer

Swansea giving us Wales's first visual depiction of a wig snatch in 1787. Truly, a centre of Welsh innovation. [Original: britishmuseum.org/collection/obj…]
It's just a thought, which occurred to me while cycling to work yesterday, because I cannot understand why schools and centres that teach biodiversity are at the same time discarding and devaluing the best possible tools for teaching it....
Do some organisations view old insect collections like a dying person views photos of their youth & vanished beauty, an unhappy reminder of something forever lost? Is this societal rejection of the knowledge in collections not anti-intellectual indifference, but guilt and regret?
Can it be that some elements of society are giving up on the future of the natural world? Are these collections, as a time machine or a window to past ecosystems, an unhappy reminder for some people of biodiversity that was?
It is not that they don't understand the importance of natural history, sometimes I go to a school to pick up their unwanted insect collection, and they have displays all over the classrooms saying how important insects are... it doesn't make sense. Then I thought of something..
So, this brings me to the irony: educational institutions, including schools, universities and field centres, are getting rid of natural history collections, just at a time when these amazing resources are more relevant and more important than they have ever been before..
& 2. Natural history collections provide a great insight into the world's biodiversity and the best possible tool for understanding it - they are at once a teleporter and a time machine allowing you to 'visit' and study ecosystems all over the world, including vanished ones..
There is a great irony that I am confronted with often in my work @NHM_London : 1. we are in a biodiversity crisis, awareness of the decline in biodiversity is rising, engagement with nature is very high through apps, websites, entertainment, even a GCSE in Natural History..
Working with the Sloane Herbarium today I briefly reunited two small horti sicci that were once bound together. That probably happened in 1740s, and Daniel Solander records that to have been so in the 1760s. And so they remained until rebound in 1880s @NHM_Botany @RXCoulton

4 Willow Warblers, 2 Chiffchaffs, 1 Redpoll, Siskins heard and a Tree Pipit over (1st Park record since 1999?), Greenwich Park #londonbirds.
I think this photo aptly sums up what’s it’s like to record with @DaveGorman @sueperkins & the totally inappropriate @curataceae. Lee is blurred to avoid management recognising & firing him..Sue & Dave - bloody brilliant Excellent fun last night - new #NatureTable coming soon
More for #DNADay! "we successfully sequenced an entire mitochondrial genome from two legs of this fly and replaced them on the specimen after" - @ento_ben. Sequencing genomic data from our collections helps DNA reference projects like @BioGenEurope, @iBOLEurope & @iBOLConsortium.
What is the use of social media if not to share and promote the flippin' heck hell out of this tune. Thanks to all and everyone who digs it, gets it, promotes it and rock out. Link to shop in the video link :) youtu.be/im1m0JhGqoE?si…
"I call it Schrödinger’s tapestry: I am desperate to finish, but at the same time I don’t want it to end. It’s bittersweet." Absolutely adore this. What a delightful little piece on an utter labour of love ❤ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
