Our Winter Talks take place on Zoom.

Anna Lacey studied natural sciences for her undergraduate degree but then spent the past 20 years as a science producer at the BBC. In September last year, she decided to scratch the itch of doing some of her own research by enrolling on a PGCert in Ecological Survey Techniques, from which a study of Tephroseris integrifolia emerged.

She will be talking about this research and what she discovered, through the only demographic study of an extant population of field fleawort in the UK, whilst also reflecting on what it's like doing a botanical study as an enthusiastic-but-novice botanist, and what it's like trying to learn about botany/ecology/conservation as a 40 year old.
