FROM BEATRIX POTTER TO OUTER SPACE – The Extraordinary Journey of Lichens – Tuesday 22 September – Zoom Recording

Lichens have travelled a remarkable path through science, culture, and even space. In a fascinating talk, Jagoda Zajac, Society Webmaster and Lichen enthusiast, explored how these quiet, overlooked organisms have captured attention from Beatrix Potter’s early scientific studies to modern laboratories, revealing a world where resilience, creativity, and unexpected usefulness meet. Along the way, we learned about some of the surprising roles which lichens have played in human history and the natural world.
