One of my favourite frog chemistry facts (yes, I have several 😁) is that only a single amino acid mutation prevents poison dart frogs from poisoning themselves

I brilliant fact! I was reading about desert frogs this morning, and they can survive by soaking up any fog that condenses on their skin! 🐸💚

Frogs are full of surprises! Fowler's toad sounds just like a high pitched human baby crying!

This is a brilliant fact, and reminds me of the Fanged Frogs of South East Asia! 💚🐸

Would absolutely also recommend “Moth” which looks at and explains simply adaption and evolution

…and “Fox” which explores the circle of life and death and doesn’t shy away from the realities. Stunning!

And make sure your main life, loves and people are outside of publishing, so you always keep perspective

Back yourself, but don't get overly attached to any particular idea or project; remember you are running a business and don't sell your time and ideas for less than they are worth; give every project your all while it is in your control, but then let it go and move your head & heart to the next

I love them so much, such joyful days, and I am hugely grateful to teachers and SLT who add to their already impossible workloads to organise these special days and events for their pupils
