I met the student volunteers at @ColeZoology this week, and look how much work they’ve done! They’ve got a year of experience under their belts already, and are a fantastic team. 😀 1/7 pic.twitter.com/CULlQxMC4v
This week’s Fun Facts from @ColeZoology are all about working with glass! Hence the safety kit. Super important, even in a heatwave that makes your face turn the same colour as your hair. (Assuming your hair’s bright pink. That’s not a formal requirement.) 1/8 pic.twitter.com/SKGSSoQ0qd
