"Mindless Mobs or Smart Swarms?" was the theme for a Dana Centre event at the London Science Museum.

Working with Edward Codling and Nikolai Bode from the University of Essex, SHOALgroup designed a night of fun group experiments that explored the science of crowd behaviour.

Wherever possible, SHOAL engages the public with our science. We get people to take part in our experiments at University open days and public events.

Pictured are University open day attendees getting involved with our research!

Human-baboon conflict is prevalent in Cape Town, South Africa. These conflicts represent complex conservation problems requiring an in-depth understanding of animal space use in human-altered landscapes. Our baboon research with University of Cape Town has been incorporated into the City's Baboon Management Strategy document, and is listed in NERC's Impact Database.
