The Albert with Tim Coulson Podcast Episode · TimeTable London · 9 April · 47min

TimeTable London is a podcast series recorded in London pubs. It blends of pub banter, life stories and discussion of why London is so amazing. Honored to be a guest, and love recording it. Podcast+pub=happy. I couldn't think of a better way of spending time. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Sloan Science & Film Sloan Science and Film is a website devoted to exploring the intersection of science and film, and enhancing the public understanding of science and technology.

I enjoyed the ecosystems depicted in the AVATAR movies, but there were a couple of things that bothered me. The evolutionary history of the Na'vi was a little bewildering. So I wrote an article about it for the Sloan Museum of the Moving Image

Why Countryside Safety Supports Apex Predators’ Return Countryside safety is far greater than we think, and evidence shows apex predators can coexist with people and restore ecosystems.

DNA from wolf pup’s last meal reveals new facts about woolly rhino’s extinction A new study shows the woolly rhino was not the inbred, genetically doomed species scientists had thought.

Amazing what you can find in a wolf pup's stomach after 15,000 years. Woolly rhino DNA shows that despite a long decline to extinction, they maintained genetic variation. The eaten rhino did not die because it was inbred.

If coal had not formed in the Carboniferous our civilisation would not exist. If the Isthmus of Panama had not formed, drying Africa, we would not have evolved big brains. Despite this I argue intelligent life is not rare in the Cosmos
