Quantum Sauce: Walks on the Wild Side

Beers, brains and brilliant science! Join researchers and experts as they bring fascinating ideas to life in an informal setting.

QS celebrates World Wildlife Day by exploring biodiversity, human-wildlife coexistence and innovative conservation, from vital insects to deer and elephants.

Hosted by Professor Adam Booth - School of Earth, Environment and Sustainability.

Dr Chris Hassal - School of Biology, University of Leeds

Join Dr Chris Hassall and explore what we know, how we know it, and what we don’t know about insect biodiversity in the natural world – from the tweed jacketed explorers to new ways to track insect population using weather radars.

Dr Thomas Logan - University Centre Bishop Burton

Dr Thomas Logan explores how to manage and adapt wildlife planning, and the ecology of large herbivores - especially deer. Come and get interactive as we explore the thorny issues of working with Those Damned Deer!

Dr Alice Morrell - Department of Biology, University of Oxford

Combining insights from ecology, physics, and AI, Alice’s research at the University of Oxford is uncovering previously hidden patterns in animal communication and opening new possibilities for conservation, enabling wildlife monitoring that is remote, non-invasive, and scalable.
