Badger, I hope it is the right place to post this, I couldn't find anywhere better...

ahem, I am preparing a poster & presentation for my exams in Jan.

Chosen subject is "Biodiversity and Herbal Medicine".

I was pointed in the direction of the Silphion Project, which should be operating in the Leeds area in the UK.

Unfortunately, I cannot find much about this project and am starting to believe it is dead.

Does any of you on here know about this project?

If you don't not to worry!

I am currently loitering around the Leeds area, but I have never heard of the project in question...
