“It’s about being ‘about right’ now, rather than perfectly right too late”
Dr Adam Kucharski, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, tells Tom Ireland how modelling has provided rapid insights into many aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak. Can you give us an idea of what your research involved before the...

Time travelling trees
link the self-guided tour to the Key Stage (KS) 3, 4 and 5 Biology and Geography curriculum. For example, there is a data set that can be ‘downloaded’ from a dendrometer (tree growth ring) in one of the 3D scenes, with instructions to chart the growth...

RSB and University of Gloucestershire spider citizen science project leads to publication
late autumn onwards, with this influx often being referred to as the annual “spider season”. Now, analysis of the biggest data set ever gathered on UK house spiders has shed new light on the behavioural patterns of these spiders as they come crawling...
