Free! 2nd May, Edinburgh. Professor Richard Ennos - 'Health: An Ecological Perspective'. Tickets here.
Richard Ennos is a retired professor of Evolutionary Biology with 32 years of experience in teaching and research at Edinburgh University. In this talk he will look at the problem of maintaining good health from a broad ecological, rather than a traditional medical, perspective.
