Science in the Snakepit: Unraveling the Mysteries of Serpents

Join us for the final meeting of 2025, when we will be launching Science in the Snakepit: Rick Shine’s latest book.
Signed copies will be available on the night.
Rick will be speaking on the adventures and misadventures of researchers who have investigated the ecology and biology of these fantastic beasts – and sometimes, have paid with their lives.

This richly illustrated title chronicles the revolution in our understanding of snakes, the new methods that have arisen to enable those breakthroughs, and the serendipitous and often-chaotic processes by which human beings accumulate insights into other forms of life. Recent years have witnessed an incredible flowering of snake-ecology research, with a rapidly expanding diversity not only of the snake species being studied and the places where this occurs, but also of the kinds of people making those discoveries.
