"A marvellous way to provide students with an overview of the field, delivered by leading thinkers in a clear and digestible way. Its breadth is its strength because few faculties will be able to match the range of speakers."
Professor Paul O'Higgins, The Hull York Medical School, UK
"The Henry Stewart Talks are extraordinarily unique in the annals of evolutionary biology. You have amassed a list of titans in evolutionary biology who have every chance of expanding the borders of evolutionary medicine, and of luring more researchers into this promising field. I wish you every success."
Professor Dolph Schluter, University of British Columbia, Canada
