Psychobiology

A shore thing…

Our editor Jon Sutton collects coverage from annual conferences of the British Psychological Society's Psychobiology Section, held at Low Wood Bay hotel on Lake Windermere.

03 September 2019

Tomorrow, I'm off to the Annual Conference of the British Psychological Society's Psychobiology Section, on the shores of Lake Windermere. I try to get round as many of our Member Network conferences as our busy production schedule allows, and now that we have a full-time Deputy Editor I'm hoping to do this more. But there's certainly something about Psychobiology that seems to guarantee a stimulating time and keeps me coming back. It's an area we don't tend to cover in other ways, the quality of the conversations and keynotes are always first class, and the surroundings don't hurt either…

Here, we collate some links to reports and interviews from the past couple of years.
