This week, at The Old Courthouse in Otley, I have the pleasure of sharing my research with two other wonderful women scientists.
Why do we gain weight? – It’s all in your brain! Dr Gisela Helfer, School of Chemistry and Biosciences, University of Bradford No one wants to overeat, yet many of us are fighting a never-ending battle with our hormones and ancient, instinctive brain circuits to try to control our body weight – often unsuccessful. Join me on a journey through cutting-edge neuroscience research to explore why it is so difficult for many of us to lose weight, how the brain undermines our dieting efforts and why some people are hungrier than others. The buzz about Bees Dr Liz Duncan, School of Biology, University of Leeds “Save the bees!” is a familiar phrase – but which bees? Liz will talk about her research on honeybees (and other bees), some of the threats to bees and what we can do to help. Cloudy with a chance it rained Dr Tamara Fletcher, School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds Clouds are the greatest source of uncertainty in climate models. To test how climate models perform in future-like climates we test them on geologic warm periods, however, there is currently no way to reconstruct cloud in the distant past. Are our models getting cloud right? In this talk, I will take you through some of the ways we are trying to reconstruct that icon of the ephemeral, cloud, 4 million years in the past. Tickets for the Café are £6, but free for under 18s, starting at 7:30 pm.

ProjectClouds cause the greatest uncertainty in climate models, but we currently have no way of testing cloud model performance in a climate with higher CO2 than the historical records. Palaeontology gives us access to such a past, but currently, we don't have a method to reconstruct cloud in deep time. Archives
