What is it?

Think January is all a bit poo? Then why not head to the Museum of London for a lecture on that very subject?  The eXcrement Factor: The Natural History of Dung by British entomologist, explorer and author Professor George McGavin, will be posing some dung related questions on Tuesday 16th January.

Professor McGavin will be looking at how animals get rid of waste products and the enormous amount of excrement that is deposited on our planet every day. He will be looking at where it all goes, what we can learn from droppings and how dung has changed world history.

And if you can’t make it to London to see the lecture, don’t worry you can catch it live here.
