Ever wondered why snails have curly shells, starfish have 5 arms, or what’s the significance of the number of petals on a daisy?
These are a few of the fascinating insights we were given on 18th February 2021 when we enjoyed a talk by Alan Veevers, a keen wildlife photographer, naturalist and retired statistician from Melbourne, Australia.
If you were unable to join us, or want to see the talk again, Alan has kindly agreed for us to post a recording of his talk here for a while.
