Keynote Speakers

Dr. Sören Häfker | Alfred Wegener Institute, DE

Sören studies clocks in marine invertebrates, combining molecular and behavioral techniques with field studies to explore the functioning, relevance and adaptation of clock systems in marine habitats.


Dr. Luísa Jabbur | John Innes Center, UK

Luísa’s work revolves around understanding how bacteria anticipate and predict the seasons. Furthermore, she uses the fast generation times of cyanobacteria to predict how photoperiodic species might adapt to climate change.


Dr. Hannah Rees | Aberystwyth University, UK

Hannah’s research focuses on circadian rhythms in wild and crop plants, particularly how they vary in nature and how rhythms can be leveraged to improve habitat restoration and agricultural potential
