| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 We employ two researchers/lecturers, Paul Garner — PG (full time) and Dr Stephen Lloyd — SL (part time), as well as Matthew Pickhaver (MP) as our Communications Manager (part time). An associate researcher, Dr |
| William Worraker (WW), is supported but not employed by the charity. | |
| We summarise our main activities below. | |
| Speaking engagements. From April 2021 to March 2022 PG, SL and | |
| MP delivered around 30 talks and lectures. The number of "in-person" | |
| speaking engagements started to pick up with the easing of covid | |
| restrictions, although some continued to take place online. They spoke at | |
| public meetings, conferences, church services, training seminars, | |
| theological colleges and youth events. Among the engagements were | |
| talks at a student conferenceattended by about 80 young people and | |
| lectures to theological students at a London-based seminary. Other | |
| meetings took place in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Worcestershire, the | |
| Midlands, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Kent. PG also recorded talks for a | |
| virtual meeting being hosted in the Netherlands and two conferences | |
| taking place in the USA. | |
| Online outreach and media. We continued to post videos to our | |
| YouTube channel, which by the end of the reporting period had about | |
| 500 subscribers and had received about 20,000 views. The audience for | |
| ourfortnightly podcast, co-hosted by PG and Dr Todd Wood, has also | |
| continued to grow. By March 2022, we had released about 30 episodes | |
| and had gained about 850 subscribers onYouTube.The podcast is also | |
| available on several other streaming platforms. SL was interviewed twice | |
| for TalkRadio, in May and July 2021, and in January 2022 PG recorded | |
| an interviewwith an independent production company for a forthcoming documentary. We continued to communicate regularly with supporters by |
|
| way of a newsletter issued three times a year alongside a monthly email update. We also maintained an active social media presence on Facebook and Twitter. |
|
| Research. WW continued to receive support from our organisation for his | |
| work on a quantitative geophysics project, with the fourth in a series of | |
| peer-reviewed papers based on this research nearing completion. PG | |
| worked on three research projects, with research assistance from | |
| students. One is a comparison of the order of branching in published | |
| phylogenies with the order offossil appearances, another is a | |
| morphological study of fossil horses, and the third is a statistical analysis | |
| of a large geochronological database. We hope to publish peer-reviewed | |
| papers reporting the results of these research projects in 2023. PG and | |
| WW acted as reviewers for a number of other academic papers and | |
| conference abstracts throughoutthe year. Other activities. Editorial work continued onsubmissions to our own |
|
| open-access online journal and the third volume was published in | |
| November 2021. We also contributed articles to a number of other print | |
| and online publications. A new book by PG, a large-format, full-colour | |
| hardback with over 200 watercolour illustrations, was published in the | |
| USA (in December 2021) and UK (in January 2022). Both PG and SL are | |
| working on other book projects. We have also continued to support | |
| students in a mentoring capacity. |
