Research from a King's PhD student has shown conservation efforts are bringing species back from the brink. 🐂🦅🐋 Ash Simkins, a PhD candidate in the Department of Zoology used data from the @IUCN_congress Red List (the world's largest database of species conservation status) to examine over 67,000 animal species. Ash says, “While biodiversity loss is a genuine crisis, it’s vital that we celebrate the success stories wherever and whenever we can. It’s so hard for a species to improve its conservation status, but with the right effort, we can turn things around.” Read more 👉external link 📷© Mihai Leu (1,4); Rafal Kowalczyk (2); Paul Donald (3) @cambridge_sbs @redlist_of_ecosystems

A special performance of Shakespeare's Macbeth opened in King's College Chapel last night to rave reviews. 💀🗡️🩸 The adaptation is directed by King's students Eva and Charlie and features several King's students in the cast and production teams. King's third-year Esther who stars as Lady Macbeth says, "performing with King's students in a place so important to our community is a memory I will have forever."

This document is the foundation charter of King’s College which establishes the various lands and privileges granted by Henry VI in 1446. The intricate illuminations depict Henry’s dedication to the Virgin and St Nicholas, much to the approval of his assembled lords.

We will be joined by @kings.college today at the Cambridge Archives & Collections Fair from 12-4pm!

For fourth year undergraduate Dan [📷 1] , completing the @CambridgeHalfUK has been a long-term goal, "Ever since I arrived here, I've wanted to run the Cambridge Half Marathon, but only now am I finally making it happen. I am always inspired by the relationship between discomfort and growth and I can’t wait to test myself mentally and physically on Sunday." Also taking on his first ever Half is King's Fellow and @CambridgeUniversity Proctor Dr Fraz Mir [📷 2], "I was inspired to run by watching others run the London Marathon and to impress friends and family! I also wanted to use it as an opportunity to get fitter myself and raise money for @CR_UK. I’ve managed to raise over £3000 so far and hope to reach the target of £5k by this Sunday!"

Also taking part in this Sunday's @CambridgeHalfUK are alumnus Craig (KC 2012) and College Research Associate Coco. Craig[📷1, left], pictured with College Porter Peter [middle] in September 2015 on the day of the Chariots of Fire race says, "I had an amazing time rowing with good friends in King’s College Boat Club - since then have always kept active. I’m running the Cambridge Half Marathon to challenge myself to beat my times from when I was a rower and as an excuse to spend a weekend visiting Cambridge." Coco [📷2,3], a former rower with @CUBCsquad says, "This is my second Cambridge Half - running it again because I love the energy and atmosphere of the day, and it's always great to bump into friends, colleagues or random people from my network." #CambridgeHalfMarathon #TTPCambridgeHalf #RunningCommunity
