Dr James Kinross, Imperial College London, “An internal climate crisis– how our changing microbiome determines our health”

Having more microorganisms living on you and in you than human cells makes them very important to our function. To learn more about this internal ecosystem we have the privilege of Dr James Kinross coming to speak about it. This will take place on the 3rd of June in the SLT during APT (starting at 5 pm).
Dr Kinross is a senior lecturer in colorectal surgery and a consultant surgeon at Imperial College London. He has recently published ‘Dark Matter’ which explores the intricate science of the microbiome. Signed copies will be available for purchase after his talk.
The talk would appeal to anyone interested in understanding more about the inner workings of our bodies and the impact the microbiome has on our health. Dr Kinross is a friendly and knowledgeable speaker and the talk promises to be fascinating.

Christine Bovill’s award-winning shows “Piaf” and “Paris” established her reputation as one of Europe’s finest interpreters of French song. In her new show, a complete sell-out at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe, she travels into the ’60s and the Americanisation of French music: le yé-yé. A time of great cultural change in France, would the high art of chanson survive…? This new show offers a delicious celebration of the Golden Age of French song and how it evolved during the Swinging Sixties.
Singing in both French and English she honours many stars including Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Serge Gainsbourg and Francoise Hardy.
