📚🐒⚖️ Una storia di scienza, fede e comunicazione che continua a parlarci 100 anni dopo.
🎙️ Oggi a Radio 3 Scienza si è parlato del processo Scopes e di come ancora oggi definisca il modo in cui discutiamo di evoluzione.

Really looking forward to the @cipr.co.uk Annual Conference tomorrow! A great chance to exchange ideas, get inspired, and explore the future of strategic communications 💬✨ cipr.co.uk/CIPR/CIPR/Ne...

🖼️✨ Loved the Joseph Wright of Derby exhibition at the National Gallery. His use of light and shadow is mesmerising ❤️‍🔥 My favourites remain his great scientific scenes, where experiment becomes drama by candlelight 🕯️ www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/...

Very excited for tonight’s @linneansociety.bsky.social President's Lecture by Dr Mark Watson @thebotanics.bsky.social on Survival of the Fittest: An Evolving Learned Society

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟
The Cambridge #SciComm group has organized its first road trip! 🐢 On Sunday, 27th April, we'll visit Down House, the home of Charles Darwin. Interested? Get in touch!

Darwin’s Origin of Species evolved over six editions as he refined ideas, addressed criticism, and added new discoveries. What began as a “temporary” work became a lifelong project, shaped by global debates and scientific advances.

The Origin wasn’t the book Darwin had been planning to write. It was a condensed abstract, born from years of research and a rush to publish after Wallace’s letter in 1858. It took just 13 months to draft, with ideas were backed by 20+ years of research.
Science is part perseverance, part timing! ⏳📖

Only few years after his returns from the voyage on HMS Beagle, Darwin wrote an unpublished sketch in 1842 and expanded it into an essay in 1844. These documents were early attempts to articulate his theory and included many ideas that would later appear in On the Origin of Species.

Only 3% of the original Origin of Species draft survives today. After publishing, Darwin discarded most of it as scrap paper, and his children even used the backs for doodles. Some sheets were rediscovered decades later and sold for staggering sums.

John Murray accepted ito publish without even reading the manuscript. Darwin wasn’t sure the book would be successful."I heartily hope that my book may be sufficiently successful that you may not repent of having undertaken it." Safe to safe that it was a gamble that paid off.

#Onthisday in 1859, On the Origin of Species was published and Charles Darwin changed how we look at life on Earth.
His book introduced the theory of evolution by natural selection, shaking the foundations of many sciences.

What a privilege to hear Clive Myrie’s fascinating take on navigating today’s fast-changing media landscape and making the case for avoiding breaking news splashes, instead pursuing more in-depth analysis and sensible quiet reporting #CIPRConf24

On my way to #CIPRConf24

After years of perfecting the art of lurking on X/Twitter, I’m making a comeback, hoping to finally post more often.
I’m starting small… with a cat photo.
