SUMMARY:PUBLIC LECTURE - The Bee’s Needs: How to Save the World’s Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Honey Bee pollinating sunflower.\nThe Bee’s Needs: How to Save the World’s Pollinators \nWednesday 14 March\, 19:30-20:45 \nLocation: G11\, Henley Business School\, Whiteknights campus \nThis event is free to attend.  \nRegistration in advance is not required\, but is recommended as public lectures are often full. Click here to book your place > \nBees and other insects are crucially important\, helping pollinate crops and support our wild ecosystems. The University of Reading is at the forefront of research into the decline of insect pollinators and understanding how valuable they are for crop production. \nThe lecture will outline current evidence on the status of pollinating insects in the UK and across the globe. The crucial role pollinators play for crop production will be explored as well as ways we can help protect these iconic species for the important role they have providing vital ecosystem services. \nDr Mike Garratt\, a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Agriculture Policy and Development\, will present the latest research on pollinators and what we can do to help protect them.

SUMMARY:Fairbrother Lecture 2018: Would you let your phone tell you what to eat? Designing technology for personalised nutrition advice
DESCRIPTION:Would you let your phone tell you what to eat? Designing technology for personalised nutrition advice \nThe Graduate School is delighted to announce that the Fairbrother Lecture 2018 will be delivered by current doctoral researcher Rodrigo Zenun Franco who is undertaking a PhD in Computer Science. \nRodrigo will be talking about his research on online personalised nutrition advice. He has developed an app to assess dietary intake and propose valid personalised nutrition advice for adults. This web application has been designed to be simple to use and can be accessed on a range of devices including laptops\, tablets\, and smartphones. Rodrigo hopes that the app will help make personalised nutrition widely available\, thereby enabling more people to benefit from tailored diet advice. \nThe work is supported by the British Nutrition Foundation and the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). \nRodrigo undertook an undergraduate degree in Brazil\, before coming to Reading for his MSc. His PhD is supervised by Dr Faustina Hwang (Biomedical Engineering\, School of Biological Sciences) and Professor Julie Lovegrove (Hugh Sinclair Unit of Human Nutrition\, School of Chemistry\, Food & Pharmacy). \nAccompanying the lecture\, there will be a display of work by a number of other outstanding doctoral researchers from across the University: Vincent DeLuca (Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences); Anna Freeman (Geography & Environmental Science) Rita Goyal (Henley Business School); Sophie Payne (Literature and Languages) and Suzannah Ravenscroft (Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences).
