Berrill Lecture Theatre, The Open University, Walton Hall Campus, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
This year's CEPSAR Christmas Lecture will be given by Professor Richard Fortey.

Professor Fortey is a palaeontologist, formerly employed by the Natural History Museum in London. He says of his lecture "I have spent forty years going around the world in search of my animals - trilobites. During that time I have had several adventures - geologists are like cats with nine lives, and I have used eight of mine. I’ll talk about some of the excitements of life as a palaeontologist interested in the earliest animals.

Entrance is free, if you would like to attend the lecture, please contact cepsar@open.ac.uk
