This is the latest book review of Moss Safari, this time in the Association for Science Education's - School Science Review. Quote 'After reading this book and observing the Big Five for themselves, readers are unlikely to take their environment for granted again.' www.ase.org.uk/resources/sc...

Copy of a snippet of the Association for Science Educations School Science Review Journal book review of Moss Safari: Exploring the Secret Life in Moss by Andrew Chandler‑Grevatt, showing the book cover with bright green moss and illustrations of microscopic organisms such as a tardigrade. Text beside the cover lists publication details, price, and ISBN, and a short description explains that the book introduces five remarkable moss‑dwelling organisms, designed for KS3 and KS4 biology teaching.

Today in the Nagasaki Peace Gardens in Japan Moss is always a symbol of a resilience to me. So very apt in this place for the recovery and hope from the horrors of 1945 🔬💚 #iseemoss

I was in Taipei, Taiwan There was moss Here it is! 🔬💚 #iseemoss

A close view of damp soil covered in bright green moss, tiny heart shaped seedlings, and scattered twigs. The ground looks uneven and richly textured, with small roots and patches of bare earth visible between the plants.

According to my sources, I met this moss in Penang, Malaysia a year ago today 💚🔬 #iseemoss

A close, ground‑level view of bright green moss spreading across a weathered reddish brick. The moss forms a dense, cushiony carpet of tiny leaves, with several thin brown stalks rising above it, each tipped with a small capsule. The brick beneath shows rough texture and patches of pale lichen, giving a sense of age, moisture, and a miniature forest thriving on stone.

Winter coat? Mossy tree in February sunlight 💚🔬 #iseemoss

A dense, twisting tree is coated in thick, vivid green moss that clings to every branch and curve. The moss forms plush, velvety pads along the limbs, softening the bark and highlighting the tree’s contorted shapes. In some places it hangs in loose, feathery strands, in others it forms deep cushions that glow against the darker wood. The forest floor is muted beneath it, making the moss the brightest and most alive element in the image.

One of the highlights of my teaching year. Moss Safari with my University of Brighton trainee teachers. Read about what they learnt, how they might use it and and how many of the microscopic Big Five we found. The library roof has lots of tardigrades! mosssafari.com/2026/02/08/f...

Went to the Linnean Society today to explore queer natural history. Met a lot of wonderful people, learnt about amazing projects and have had my perspectives challenged. Overall a very successful day 💚🔬

A person stands indoors in front of an ornate wooden wall panel and a carved wooden sign. The sign reads The Linnean Society of London, with the text engraved in a serif font. The person is wearing glasses and a green jacket over a dark top. They are smiling slightly and looking directly at the camera. The setting feels formal and historic, with warm-toned wood and decorative detailing that suggest an old scholarly institution.
