A lovely meeting at the University of Wolverhampton. Really fun to give a joint plenary with Patrick Campbell about the importance of museum collections in herpetological research - many thanks to the organizers for the invitation. Dr. Ian Brennan and Joe Rees also presented new research on frogs and squamates. Overall an exceptional outing to the Midlands complete with a visit to the Wolves pitch (Molineux Stadium) for the closing banquet!
