Meet the plenaries: first up on Thursday (07/03, 9.00) Jim Labisko (UCL) who explores the evolutionary relationships of tropical amphibians and reptile species, especially island species of the Seychelles, and knows there’s more than one way to work your way into academia.

Kick off Thursday afternoon (07/03, 13.45) with Gabrielle Davidson (UEA), whose current work focuses on the environmental and social determinants of individual differences in gut microbiomes and how the gut microbiomes affect host cognition across different environments.
