Volunteer Allison's best NHM exhibition was Whales: Beneath the Surface. It showed how whales evolved over 50 million years adapting to extreme environments. We knew she'd pick it as she loves to hear visitors' gasps at the blue whale.#VolunteersWeek youtu.be/dfaNO-Mp45E
Hi @British_Airways - my parents were on flight BA216 from Washington to Heathrow which was diverted to Boston due to technical issues.
Both parents have medical issues and am worried about them stranded at Boston. Apparently no hotels, anyone I can speak to try to help them?
