Guest talks
We regularly invite specialists of gender-related topics. We propose two formats:
- talks organised for a large audience at the university;
- informal discussions with WoBio members.
Kevin Laland (at the end of the table) was invited to share his experience regarding the EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) initiative at the University of St Andrews, in Scotland.
