How to build a dinosaur

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Friday, 9 January 2026 - 1 hour 33 minutes

The Natural History Museum has opened as a living research hub – but how can it help shape how we understand our planet, our past and our future? Helen asks the museum’s Director of Science and Research, Professor Phillip Manning, Director of Science and Research, and Emirati curator Noora Albalooshi.

Meanwhile, on the food front, we celebrate Sharjah’s homegrown food scene with restaurateur Lourds Adalia-Evertse, delve into the food trends and openings to expect in 2026 with Laura Coughlin, and our resident culture expert William Mullally is on hand with all the recommendations you need for big and small screen enjoyment this January.
