The Isles of Scilly are one of the most remote and beautiful parts of the UK. They support a rich and diverse cross-section of life but, due to the effects of climate change, the islands have been identified as under threat. We linked live to Scilly to meet our scientists on their field trip to study the molluscs (snails, slugs, squids and clams) that inhabit the islands. With Jon Ablett, Andreia Salvador and Miranda Lowe

Meet Imperial College scientisit, Tim Cockerill, who has been out in the field studying parasitoid wasps. Hear about his recent experiences in Borneo and discover more about these diverse and important insects. We also link live via satellite connection to Museum scientists Dan Carpenter and Pat Wolseley and science communicator Charlotte Coales who are still in the field, discovering what insects they've encountered and what it's like living and working in the rainforest.
Meet Museum scientist Paul Eggleton who will be revealing the secrets of collecting insects and showing us some of the weird and wonderful equipment used on a recent expedition to the rainforests of Borneo.
