A celebration of the scientific career of Prof Gareth Leng Gareth retired in 2021 after 46 years in science, with 27 of those spent at the University of Edinburgh. Drinking, eating, love, sex – Gareth has unwoven the rainbow around all these targets of human (and other animal’s) attention, but always in a collaborative, insightful and scholarly way. This celebratory Festschrift will mark his long and fruitful career as an academic and researcher in neuroendocrinology – but not by means of a hagiographic meander, studded with ‘in-jokes’, through his scientific and (anti-)social exploits. On the contrary, this event is forward-looking; highlighting new developments, unsolved puzzles, oddities and controversies in this broad field of research. Join us at this event for another (we daren’t say final) opportunity to experience how Gareth, and the people he has worked with, has had an impact on our understanding of the unconscious neuronal and hormonal influences on the behaviours that help make us human. This Festschrift will take place on 11-12th August 2022 at the historic St Cecilia’s Hall in Edinburgh. Attendance at the event is free but to get an idea of numbers please can you register on our Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gareth-leng-festschrift-tickets-168259664185?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&keep_tld=1 The event will end with a celebratory dinner at Vittoria on the Bridge on Friday 12th.
