It’s a common observation that some people can eat what they like and not gain weight. But, given the evidence that such people do exist, how can we study them to learn the biological processes that support their lean and healthy constitution? Join Professor Nik Morton as he takes you through his scientific career from being a PhD student when the first real "fat hormone" was discovered, and a whole human genome was laboriously sequenced after years of analysis, through to now, where rapid population level DNA sequencing in hundreds of thousands of people can identify genes that explain our body shape and fatness. Nik will interweave his own discoveries through this tale, highlighting what we know about how our bodies have evolved to be a range of shapes and sizes, and what processes keep this in check in our daily lives.

In this talk Professor Andy Newton reveals some of his insights from 20 years research into crime and place. Andy will draw from his work on examining patterns of crime on the public transport network, on understanding acquisitive crime, and exploring violence in public places. He will also reflect on some of the obstacles for academics when collaborating with police forces, community safety partners, the voluntary sector, and local and national government - acknowledging this is a two-way issue! Andy will discuss recent efforts to develop toolkits to better inform policy makers decisions about place-based approach to crime prevention and also reflect on the need to bring local communities into this process. Indeed, if we are going to take a place-based approach to crime reduction – then how can we try and make this more sustainable?
