🌍🔬 A fascinating visit to the Royal Society Summer Exhibition this week for our Dean, Professor Gail Taylor. The Summer Exhibition highlights how cutting-edge scanning technologies are creating digital twins of museum specimens, opening up new opportunities for scientific discovery, expanding access to collections, and preserving a future-proof record of Earth’s biodiversity.

Innovation like this is transforming how we understand and protect the natural world for future generations.
