Slide with text and photo. Text reads: "Introducing... Danny Bradford!" Chair of the UK Public Health Science Conference Organising Committee. Quote from Danny: The plenary sessions, where selected oral presentations are given to all delegates and followed by a panel discussion instead of individual questions to single presenters, are a unique feature of the conference. The oral presentations are curated to provide a really interesting mix of topics and the Q&A has such a light-hearted, positive vibe, with questions coming from a place of real interest."
