2012/09/25
Sex is one of evolution's greatest tricks. When, where and why did it evolve? Come find out in this quick tour of the weird and wonderful sex lives of the natural world and see what it tells us about perhaps the weirdest animal of them all- US!
Simon Watt MRes, BSc
Simon is an evolutionary biologist who thus far has had a very unusual career path.Though he has spent the vast majority of his working life as an educator in one form or another he has somehow bypassed becoming a teacher. Instead, he has favoured jobs which allow him to dress up funny and flit through the centuries with reckless abandon. His true love however lies in science. Particularly the weird stuff. Particularly the weird stuff that we think is normal.He is perhaps best known for his work as a presenter on Channel 4′s BAFTA winning series ”Inside Nature’s Giants” and the 90 minute special “The Elephant- Life After Death”. As a writer, his work has been published in The Times, The Sunday Times, and many other national newspapers and magazines. His science based plays, lectures, demos and stand -up routines have become a regular feature of science festivals and other live events around the country.
