The Royal Society Michael Faraday Prize Lecture, given by the 2026 winner Professor Anjali Goswami FRS, explores what the past reveals about evolution under pressure. The evolutionary biologist examines why some species survive rapid environmental change while others vanish, drawing on examples from single-celled organisms to dinosaurs. Her lab uses new technologies, especially imaging and AI, to trace the pace of evolutionary change and understand which species can keep up.
