The honour of giving a talk at SCCS has been further magnified by it being The Georgina Mace Plenary Lecture.

Georgina Mace was a pillar of conservation science, including through her work on developing the criteria underpinning the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. I am also personally indebted to her for the support she gave to my career progression.

Naming a plenary lecture after her is a wonderful tribute by the SCCS.

Happily attending my favourite scientific meeting: the Student Conference on Conservation Science in Cambridge.

Ongoing since 2000, the SCCS brings together young conservation researchers and professionals from around the world (~60 countries represented each year).

The quality and diversity of the talks never fails to impress me, and the discussions with bright and enthusiastic delegates inspire me to no end.

Very highly recommended!
