This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2024.
Discover the fascinating world of shell colours and the rarity of blue and green shells. Dr Abigail Ingram will explore why these colours have rarely evolved, not only in shells but also across the animal kingdom.
Attendees will have the exclusive chance to closely examine a diverse range of specimens, offering a rare opportunity to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of these shells firsthand.
Abigail is a biologist with expertise in the functional morphology of marine and terrestrial invertebrates using electron microscopy and spectrophotometry. After working as a fish ecologist at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), Abigail gained a place at the University of Oxford to do her PhD in the Department of Zoology.
Dr Abigail Ingram is a Royal Society Daphne Jackson Fellow at the Natural History Museum, London in the Invertebrates Division of the Life Sciences Department.
The Royal Society is a Fellowship of many of the world's most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.
