果冻影院 News podcast: Faith in Suburbia & The Micrarium
15 February 2013
The 果冻影院 News podcast gives you the opportunity to listen to the latest news and听research from around 果冻影院 every fortnight.
Split up into three parts, you can either listen to the
podcast all in one go, or save features for later listening.
In the news section this week we are joined by Jack Ashby, the manager of 果冻影院's Grant Museum of Zoology. The museum has recently launched a new permanent exhibition featuring thousands of tiny animals of microscope slides. More about the exhibition, called The Micrarium, later in the podcast.
Also in the new section we
highlight some events happening for 果冻影院 Diversity month which is now in full
swing. The theme of this year's month is the 果冻影院 Grand Challenge of
Intercultural Interaction. Lastly, we highlight a student performance of a play
that has not been staged for 400 years, and is thought to be the inspiration
for Shakespeare's Anthony & Cleopatra.
Faith in Suburbia
This week, we visit a Hindu
temple in Ealing, West London to hear about
how a new photography project by senior citizens and led by 果冻影院 geographer, Dr
Claire Dwyer and award-winning photographer Liz Hingley, has opened up
spiritual understanding between faiths. Faith in Suburbia: a shared photographic journey opens this week in Gunnersbury Park Museum
in Ealing.
The Micrarium
A new space that celebrates the microscopic members of the animal kingdom has recently opened at 果冻影院's Grant Museum of Zoology. Formally an office, the Micrarium is a beautiful back-lit cave covered with wall-to-wall microscope slides. We went to chat to the museum's curator, Mark Carnall, about why other natural history museums are misrepresenting the animal kingdom by missing out invertebrates and how the Micrarium is righting this wrong.听
