The University of Exeter campus is speckled with fountains, streams, and little waterfalls, but we want to see what’s below the surface and say hello to the pondlife. Join us to try your hand at using equipment to look at different species close up in the ponds of Taddiforde and Hoopern valleys, making sure not to disturb the local ‘residents’, and seeing what it takes to live in a watery environment!

Saturday 3 May saw 90 competitors battle in the annual 36 hole marathon of the Directors Cup, a Devon County Golf Union Order of Merit event.
The weather was kind with very little wind and mainly sunshine which allowed for some good scoring, even though the course was playing very long.
With the first match off at 6.45am, the pace was set early with Sam Dunn (Teignmouth) returning a 2 over par 71, to lead the morning scorers for a while until Ryan Wheeler (Stover) returned a level par 69 and Adam Bridgewater (Tavistock) opened up with a one over 70.
Exeter Alternative Theatre are back with another 4 plays from, & inspired by, Le Theatre du Grand Guignol.

All are welcome to attend this open talk by Sir Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society and Nobel Laureate.
Three of the great ideas of biology are the gene theory; the theory of evolution by natural selection; and the proposal that the cell is the fundamental unit of all life.
When considering the question of 'what is life?' these ideas come together. The special way in which cells reproduce provides the conditions for natural selection to take place, allowing living organisms to evolve.
A fourth idea of biology is that the organisation of chemistry within the...
