Biodiversity and Birds at the Dead Zoo

What can dead birds tell us? Join NMI- Natural History Keeper, Paolo Viscardi, for a special online talk for adults exploring how collections in the Dead Zoo can help us understand biodiversity in Ireland and beyond.

This display looks at some of the problems facing marine wildlife today. This exhibition was created by scientists from Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in collaboration with taxidermist Donal Mulcahy and artist Sabine Springer.
This per-recorded talk with live Q&A was programmed for Biodiversity Week 2023. It first took place as a closed RUclips live event on Friday, 26 May 2023.
