  • Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Becca Franks
  • Becca Franks is Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at New York University. After earning a BA in Anthropology from New York University and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia University, she was a Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Animal Welfare Program at the University of British Columbia, where she was awarded the Killam Research Prize. Specializing in animal behavior, human-animal relationships, aquatic animal welfare, and quantitative methods, her research and teaching lie at the intersection of environmental and animal protection. The core question driving her work is: How can we advance our understanding of animals to address the urgent demands of the Anthropocene?

  • Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Emma Teeling
  • Prof. Emma Teeling is a world-class leader in the cross-cutting fields of mammalian phylogenetics and comparative genomics, with particular-expertise, in bat biology. She established the Laboratory of Molecular Evolution and Mammalian Phylogenetics in 2005, is a Founding Director of the genome consortium Bat1K and the Full Professor of Zoology at University College Dublin, Ireland. She has pioneered and leads global research into the development of bats as new models for healthy ageing and disease tolerance. She has been awarded prestigious personal grants to pursue this research- European Research Council (ERC) Starting grant (2013-2018), a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), President of Ireland Young Researcher Award (2006-2012), an Irish Research Council (IRC) Laureate Award (2018-2022), and an SFI Future Frontiers Award (2020-2025). She has published >121 peer reviewed research articles, 25 of which have been published in the highest interdisciplinary journals for her field (e.g. Nature, Science, Cell, PNAS), as they over-turned conventional paradigms in mammalian biology. Her research has been cited more than 15,351 times, with >28 publications cited >100 times (Goggle Scholar, September 2023). She has given prestigious international keynote lectures and public presentations (e.g. TED talk; >571,574 views; EU Parliament; World Economic Forum, Davos; BBC’s Science Club, NOVA documentary, Royal Institution Christmas Lectures), has been elected to prestigious academic boards and institutes (e.g. Irish Research Council Board, 2015-2021; Member of Royal Irish Academy, 2016) and was awarded Chevalier des Palmes Académiques, 2017 for her research.
