It’s back for 2025! Join evolutionary biologist Prof Ben Garrod and zoologist Dr Jess French for a live scientific dissection, as they reveal the fascinating inner workings of an animal.

Offering a unique opportunity to learn about biology in action, Prof Garrod and Dr French will guide you through the dissection, sharing insights about anatomy, physiology, and the incredible adaptations that help animals thrive in their environments.

Please note that the animal died of natural causes and has been generously donated for the purpose of education and research.
