FIND OUT MORE AND BOOK YOUR TICKETS OUR PLANET STAGE The home for all things environmental, from in-depth analysis of the climate crisis to the truth about what dogs are thinking. We’ll examine everything from wasps to Neanderthals to showcase the full diversity of life on Earth.     WONDERDOG! HOW WE CAME TO KNOW THAT DOGS ARE SO SMART What do dogs really think of us? What do dogs know and understand of the world? Do their emotions feel like our own?  For more than 150 years, questions like these have enthralled ethologists, psychologists and cognitive scientists who developed a range of experiments to explore dog intelligence, some successful, some… less so. In the last ten years, dogs have become a vital resource for studies, helping us understand non-human minds and fundamental questions about animal consciousness, emotions and language. Join zoological correspondent and Guardian writer Jules Howard, author of Wonderdog, in this lively celebration of the history of dog cognition science.   ALSO JOINING JULES HOWARD ON THE PLANET STAGE...   Nomad Century: the great climate upheaval Gaia Vince, Science writer and broadcaster   Why wasps matter Seirian Sumner, Behavioural ecologist, UCL   The deep chemistry of life and death Nick Lane, Biochemist and writer   Neanderthals: Exploring complex minds Rebecca Wragg Sykes, Archaeologist, University of Liverpool   The Earth: A biography of a living planet Elsa Panciroli, Palaeontologist, University of Oxford   Exploring the deep sea Helen Scales, Writer, broadcaster and Marine Biologist   It's not easy being Green Julia Cooke and Yoseph Araya, Ecologists, The Open University   Hand to mouth: The language puzzle Gillian Forrester, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Me, Human Project, University of Sussex   The geological record of climate change Christopher Jackson, Geologist, Jacobs   FIND OUT MORE AND BOOK YOUR TICKETS HEAR FROM THE BEST-LOVED NAMES IN SCIENCE ALONGSIDE UP-AND-COMING RESEARCHERS  There's also three other themed stages: the  Future stage , the Mind and Body stage and the Universe stage where you will hear from the greatest minds in science on a wide range of topics.   THE FUTURE STAGE MIND & BODY STAGE UNIVERSE STAGE NEW FOR 2022: A BRAND NEW FORMAT COMBINING THE BEST OF LIVE AND VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES  This year’s show will be streamed live, meaning that if you can’t attend physically, you can follow along digitally.
