Professor delivers talk at Manx Wildlife Trust's AGM

Professor Goulson has been on the Island addressing the Manx Wildlife Trust's AGM.
He's coined the term "insectigeddon" to describe the massive drop in insect numbers being seen and says some recent research from Germany provided some alarming figures:
Assisted Dying: 'If anyone had seen what my husband went through, they'd understand'

Straightforward communication needs to underpin everything says minister
Medical society: 'We need answers' over assisted dying
