The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, discusses the phenomenon of convergent evolution with Professor Matthew Wills. They also discuss carcinisation and characteristics that evolve repeatedly across the evolutionary tree of life.

The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Professor Robert Kelsh, about his research focusing on fundamental questions in developmental biology.

The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Dr Bethan Littleford-Colquhoun, about her research focusing on understanding how animal diets interact with gut microbiomes to shape nutrition, health and fitness in the wild. Her research sits at the interface of ecology, evolution and microbiome science.
