Hello!  I am Dr Chris Barnes, a Chartered Psychologist, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and Senior Lecturer at the University of Derby. I have published in the field of nature connectedness and have a specialist interest in light pollution, connection to the natural environment at night and pro-nature conservation. I am also a dark and quiet skies advocate with the Dark Sky International, amateur astronomer and astrophotographer, and lover of bats, badgers and moths.

In this blog, I’ll be talking about nature at night, biodiversity and the importance of natural darkness in people’s lives.
