Unearth compelling fossil evidence that living birds evolved from dinosaurs—a vivid link to the ancient past.

In the last 30 years, paleontologists have discovered troves of new dinosaur fossils that reveal unexpected connections to today's birds. Dinosaurs Among Us explores how one group of feathered dinosaurs took flight and evolved into birds through large-scale color illustrations of familiar and newly discovered species as they would have looked in life — examining their reproduction, physical structures, and the evolution of flight.

See the carpology collection of the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh like never before.

Photographer Levon Biss examined 3,500 historical specimens to select just 81 with the most striking stories to tell. Many date back to the early 19th century, collected by pioneering botanists of their time, including those on the Challenger Expedition in 1872.

Using his photo stacking technique and bespoke camera system, Biss captures unparalleled detail from specimens far too small to view with the naked eye, bringing audiences into a tiny, often unseen world.

A secret world lives on, in, and all around you. Meet the human microbiome.

Your body is home to trillions of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes. Many of us think of microorganisms as the “germs” that cause illness, yet only a fraction of them make us sick. Why do we have so many microbes? Where do they come from? What makes them so important to our health?

Inside You explores these questions across five themes: the nature of microbes and where they come from; their role in digestion, immunity, and reproduction; the factors that shape your unique microbiome; potential links between microbes and health conditions; and how scientists are working to understand this invisible world.
