Free! 2nd May, Edinburgh. Professor Richard Ennos - 'Health: An Ecological Perspective'

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. Critical to this is an understanding of how the human body defends itself against invasion by other organisms, and the various ways in which certain of these organisms have nevertheless evolved to exploit the resource that the human body represents.
