'Enjoying what you do on a daily basis is more important than ambition' - well said Alice and thanks for uploading this interview.

I have to admit - I am in love with Alice Roberts. I haven't read her books or theses, but my wife and I watch anything on TV that includes her, and apart from anything else I am deeply interested in her archeological, anthropological; and evolutionary subjects (if not the wild swimming bit) . She is three years younger than my son(!) but her enthusiasm, energy, her consistent (and delightful) smile and quirky "Bristle" vowels fascinate me - I sit and watch with a silly grin. May we be blessed with more of Alice - (a national treasure!)

Dr Alice, as per previous comments a stunning looking lady, her demeanour and presence of mind is so engaging such that her documentaries never cease to fascinate me.

[@MeMyself-jz9ms]

What’s great about listening to Prof Alice Roberts is that she articulates scientific discoveries and ideas in an accessible way for the unscientifically initiated audience. But it goes deeper than a skill in communication. What Alice seems to embody (and I use that word intentionally), is a beautiful down-to-earth-ness. Literally, she investigates old human bones in the ground and in doing so she shares with us the elevating wonder of the natural world and of our own physical beings, in such a way that inspires hope for the future of humanity and meaning for our own lives. I feel that this sort of approach to life carries the possibility of a more humane and constructive matrix of meaning for humanity than that which has resulted from religion. Just as the universe evolves, and biological life and ecosystems evolve by adapting to reality as it is experienced, so humanity’s understanding of our existence, our meaning and purpose must develop and adapt to make room for these scientific discoveries. I had naïvely hoped that reason in our culture would prevail by reason of its own reasonableness. This was to not take into account both the Machiavellian nature of opportunistic populism combined with politico-religious hegemony and the polarisation and sensationalisation of social media fuelling extremist tropes. Every good public act, every healthy appeal to reason can now be twisted by malevolent forces to fuel the culture wars. There are two consequences of the worldwide resurgence of right wing politics resulting from this doubling down on religion. Firstly, accelerating environmental degradation and climate chaos and, secondly, the corrosion of democratic values. Both are a real and imminent threat to civilisation as we know it. I think it’s not over dramatic to suggest that they may together combine to bring about human extinction. It’s my contention, therefore, that the reasonable and winsom appeal of scientific humanism and scientifically enlightened education from an early age has never been more urgent.
