Emma Johnston was a brilliant scientist, a talented vice chancellor, and a lovely person. She was generous enough to deliver the 2023 Fenner Lecture youtu.be/ZjD2anzqWPE?si=ZVd1… and chat about seas, science & sailing on my podcast podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas… A huge loss to the nation.

Domain of the Dinosaurs is a wonderful exhibition, combining extraordinary work in palaeontology with commissioned artists, and a beautiful gallery in the Glucksman. I would urge people to come here.
