Professor Alice Roberts, broadcaster, author, and biological anthropologist, from the University of Birmingham, UK, will be talking about Ancestors: A History of Britain Through Burials. She will explore how burial archaeology has shed light on prehistoric societies in the UK and how genetics is revolutionising what we know about the deep past. Professor Roberts has presented well over 100 television programmes and was awarded the Royal Society’s first David Attenborough Prize for Public Engagement in 2020.

Having originally studied and practised medicine, Professor Roberts then became a university lecturer, teaching clinical anatomy and undertaking research in biological anthropology. She is especially interested in the intersection between biology, archaeology and history, the impact of ancient genomics in archaeology, and the interaction between humans and the environment through time. She is passionate about public engagement with university research and teaching, and has been Professor of Public Engagement in Science at the University of Birmingham since 2012.
