Wild conversations

Run time: 18.00 – 21.30
Visit the Zoological Society of London’s living library of nature knowledge, where you borrow people rather than books!

It’s just like an ordinary library except for one key difference: rather than lending out books to read, this library lends out wildlife researchers for a chat.

Browse the catalogue, make a choice, then borrow someone for a while!

This is a chance to enjoy one-to-one conversations about nature with researchers working across Zoological Society of London , a science-driven conservation charity restoring wildlife in the UK and around the world.

Learn about researchers’ career paths and discover how their research powers innovative projects that help wildlife, people and our planet.

This event is part of the British Science Festival takeover of Quirky Quarter, an evening of activities and performances that will encourage you to see the world from a whole new perspective! Book your free entry to Quirky Quarter here.
