COMMITTEE
Chair
Holly Green
The University of Sheffield
Hi, I’m Holly and I’m this year’s committee Chair. I study how conservation action reduces the extinction risk of the world’s birds by looking at the ‘conservation action gap’ - the difference between proposed conservation actions and those carried out. I love getting out into nature for a walk with my camera, exploring new worlds through books and video games, and being creative with things like crafts and cooking.

I'm Katie, a PhD student in the Avian Ecology Group at the University of Liverpool. I study how Arctic black-legged kittiwakes vary in their life-history and reproduction, and how their environment might affect these traits. Originally from Somerset, I spend my free time hiking, backpacking, and diving.

Kate Bowler
The University of York
Hi, I’m Kate and I’m the website designer for this year’s conference. My research investigates the role of brown macroalgae in global carbon sequestration, specifically how these organisms use CO2 concentrating mechanisms to enhance photosynthesis. Outside the lab, I love swimming, baking and painting.
