Adventurers and pioneers of zoology

This course will introduce you to a menagerie of scientists from the Age of Discovery through to the 20th century. Meet daring, ingenious and sometimes eccentric individuals who pushed all boundaries to bring zoological discoveries to light. Some explored beyond the edges of the map, others broke the mould of conformity, and some were never seen again. Join this course for a set of adventures you won’t forget. Following the three classroom sessions this course includes a visit to the Natural History Museum to view zoological artefacts relating to the scientists studied.Brenna Boyle (B.Sc Hons Dunelm, M.Sc DIC) is a zoologist, wildlife guide and environmental teacher.
