The Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health in collaboration with The Linnean Society of London and Manchester Museum, will host the 2024 Irene Manton lecture, celebrating the significant contribution made by women to the Natural Sciences.
For this year’s extra special event, marking the 10th anniversary of the lecture, as well as the University’s bicentenary year, we are delighted to welcome Amanda Bamford, Emeritus Professor of Plant sciences, The University of Manchester. Amanda is also the Academic Lead who initially formed the Linnean/University partnership, so we feel that it is especially significant that she delivers our 10th lecture.
Amanda will journey from her roots in industrial Essex to interdisciplinary conservation collaborations in Central America, and along the way present how we can study nature and connect with others to create a more positive future for wildlife.
Amanda will be joined by Matthew O’Donnell, curator of Herpetology at Manchester Museum, to present the Museum’s in-situ and ex-situ conservation work with endangered Costa Rica frogs.
