Blobfish – Ugly animals Guardian article

Here’s a link to my Guardian environment article on the vote for the ugliest animal. I know it’s not space science news but it’s a little bit of fun.

I wrote this article following on from a press conference at The British Science Festival in Newcastle where the Ugly Animal Preservation Society announced the result of the global online vote. Turns out that the blobfish wins but it’s quite funny how many people are now defending this poor endangered species, it even has it’s own twitter page!

I’ll post links soon to the Guardian Science Weekly podcasts that I worked on. They should be out over the next few weeks…lots of interviews, it was fun. There’s even some space science in the some of the interviews!
