Throwback to Biologists @ 100: Focus on sustainability

Earlier this year, The Company of Biologists celebrated its 100-year anniversary with the Biologists @ 100 conference in Liverpool – bringing together researchers across a wide range of disciplines. To capture the spirit of the meeting, our three community sites recruited dedicated conference reporters. For the Node, this was Jen Annoh, who set the stage with an excellent beginner’s guide to scientific conferences.

Jen’s interviews

During the Biologists @ 100 conference, Jen spoke with researchers working on a range of different topics. Here we highlight Jen’s interview with Saroj Saurya, who is working to minimise the environmental impact of her biological research at the University of Oxford.
