This is a jewel of an exhibition. Do go if you can. A paeon to the vanishing art of quietly waiting, observing, noticing, recording and drawing, with pens and pencils, on paper.
Thanks to @ianvisits.co.uk for a lovely write up of our Naturalists' Notebooks Exhibition.
It's free, and open 10am-5pm, Tuesday to Friday, with a special open day on 20 September.

From Doodles to Discoveries: Linnean Society showcases the art of scientific note-taking
When you might want to take some notes, you might pull open an app and type, or maybe open a paper book and write – and if you're the latter, your notes could end up in an exhibition like this.

Evolution acceptance isn’t really about biology: it’s about identity, belonging, and the fundamental question of who gets to define truth. theconversation.com/why-many-ame...
Why many Americans still think Darwin was wrong, yet the British don’t
Fundamentalists don’t necessarily examine evolution and then reject it; they tend to start with the conclusion that it must be false and work backwards.

Charles Darwin is best known for his work on evolution.
But he was a prolific scientist who studied much more. Now, over 20,000 of Darwin's letters, books and publications have been recognised as a UNESCO heritage.
