The Snowdon Aviary (designed by Lord Snowdon and Cedric Price) is my favourite building at ZSL London Zoo. My Ant Ballet installation is also in the zoo until the 11th May.

ZSL Teachers and Biodiversity Day
I gave a talk on ants and ballet at London Zoo‘s Teachers and Biodiversity Day in October 2010.
This involved a few conversations about pheromones, a demonstration of bug-tracking software I’ve built (using a very passive cockroach), and an adaptation of this experiment for classrooms.
Thanks to Seirian Sumner and Ruth Desforges for inviting me, the ZSL staff for being welcoming and accommodating, and all of the teachers for engaging and showing patience with a passive cockroach!
