I'm at Iziko South African Museum to talk about the entwined human and environmental costs of #colonialism, so it's rather fitting that the museum's gardens are teeming with highly invasive American grey #squirrels, which were introduced to #SouthAfrica by none other than #CecilRhodes. #SPNHC2026

First 8 hours in #CapeTown: what's not to love about a city where you can land at 10am, explore the National Gallery before a boozy lunch, climb Lion's Head for sunset, then find some fur #seals frolicking around the Waterfront restaurants for dinner. #SPNHC2026

It's Day One of the big international conference for natural history collections professionals. I was asked to contribute to the opening session, which focussed heavily on issues of social justice in natural science #museums. It just goes to show how mainstream this work is becoming. #SPNHC2026
A powerpoint title slide, reading: "Adding values: social, environmental and scientific relevance in natural history museums Jack Ashby Assistant Director, University Museum of Zoology" A photograph of a manatee diorama is included in the slide. Jack Ashby speaking at a conference podium, with a slide behind reading: "But how do we tell these stories? NHMs are perfectly placed to discuss environmental threats as a legacy of colonialism."
