Every Tuesday this August, join scientists and vets from the University of Liverpool to discover more about the amazing natural world. In these free public talks, we’ll explore a different fascinating topic each week, from creatures of the garden down to the tiny world of insects! Talks are open to everyone aged 12+ and no background in science is needed.

This week's theme: Animals.
