At the April Fragile Inheritance AGM it was decided to expand FI from
just being a board-governed household of Aleta & me, to having public

the summer's talks:

Everyone,

Fragile Inheritance is introducing a new educational series in Bishops
Mills starting next week. The goal of this is to have local
presentations of research presented at conferences, and to provoke the
analysis of data and records, in order to work towards understanding
what's going on around us. I'll be starting with the research that's
most publicly conspicuous in Bishops Mills: my 24 years of "doing the
streets" for reptiles and Amphibians, with some coverage of Earthworms,
Millipedes, Cepaea snails, and cigarette butts.
