MESL staff meet Sir David Attenborough

The beginning of July brought great excitement to MESL staff when Sir David Attenborough paid a visit to Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath where he signed copies of his latest book, New Life Stories. For many of the staff, Sir David Attenborough is one of their biggest heroes and over the years his inspirational documentaries and books undoubtedly played a role for some in choosing a career in science. Everyone was delighted to meet Sir David and happily took home their signed copy of his book which is full of short stories covering a very diverse range of topics.
