One of the collateral benefits of playing wrong notes in public is that I get to meet lots of random people who do interesting things, and quite a few of them doing really exciting science. Recently, I came across someone starting a project on fertility treatments for rhinos, with a view to aid their conservation - I am sure this will make a great story one day. While we're waiting for the rhinos to get their reproduction sorted out, here is my feature on the current problems in rhino conservation, from the first issue of last year:
