Pollens are often hated because of the allergies they cause, which make millions of people around the world suffer. But they are key to life on our planet. In this talk, I take a close look at a variety of pollens, look at the science and the myths surrounding them, and try to show that they can also be useful to humans, for example in helping to solve crimes.

---ONLINE TALKS mainly---
Trained as a botanist & ecologist, I am fascinated by the natural world in all its forms. I have previously worked in a botanical garden, and in a national charity conserving the wonderful diversity of cultivated plants in the UK, from rare vegetable varieties to 18th century carnations.
I now work freelance as horticultural advisor, ecological surveyor, botanical tour leader (Europe and Asia) and writer.
I have given talks to a wide range of audiences, from gardening clubs, professional landscapers, to MSc students or government staff. I am always happy to adapt the length and the content of my talks to your needs.
As I have moved to France, I mainly give online talks (Zoom, Google, Teams...) though please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss about an in-person talk in the UK.
