It was International Penguin Day yesterday and we just want to appreciate all the sophisticated little guys over in the Antarctic.

Especially our very own sophisticated penguin co-worker (Isn't he cute?)

To learn more about the Antarctic and all the little guys who call it…

The National Festival of fieldwork is coming!🥳

The theme for 2024 is ‘Fieldwork for Everyone’ if you are busy during the NFF, you can always choose your own date.

The important thing is to go out and do some fieldwork!
