This evening at the Museum you can attend the free talk ‘Breaking Ground’ and Beyond: A Century of Women and Geology at OUMNH 1813-1914 -- 6PM
This talk will show that there’s another side to the history of science at OUMNH there hides a long tradition of women contributing to scientific research.

#otd the Oxford geologist William Buckland was born 1784.
He first came to public attention with his ‘hyenas’ den’ theory, following the Kirkdale cave discoveries in Yorkshire, 1821 #@morethanadodo @hoggroup.bsky.social
