Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

The Milner Centre for Evolution has three main objectives, to ask the big evolutionary questions, to find new technological and clinical applications, and to take evolutionary research out into the community.
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Dr Paula Kover whose research focuses on understanding how an organism's environment affects the evolution of traits under natural selection.
Professor Turi King discusses the results of a scientific paper about the evolution of hearing, which explores the combined impact of biological and environmental factors on how our ears respond to sound. The study was the brainchild of Dr. Patricia Balaresque who got really interested in the different factors, such as our sex or environment, that might have shaped our hearing sensitivity. This groundbreaking study, ‘Sex, and Environment Shape Cochlear Sensitivity in Human Populations Worldwide,’ is published in Scientific reports. It was led by Dr Patricia Balaresque at the Centre for Biodiversity and Environmental Research (CRBE) in Toulouse, supported by the Eco-Anthropology unit (EA-CNRS Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle / University of Paris) and the Toulouse Institute of Research in Computer Science (IRIT-CNRS / University of Toulouse) and others.…
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Dr Leslie Turner about her research on our understanding how speciation takes place.
Ahead of the Milner Centre for Evolution's Darwin Day lecture 2025, Professor Turi King spoke with Professor Ben Garrod about his career, his involvement in science communication and his passion for all things evolution.
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Dr Daniel Henk whose research focuses on the evolution and ecology of fungi.
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Professor Zamin Iqbal about his research that uses computers to look at the genetic makeup of disease-causing bacteria to understand how they evolve and how they're becoming resistant to antibiotics.
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Professor Ed Feil about his research using genetics to understand the evolution and spread of infectious bacteria of humans and animals, as well as antimicrobial resistance, which is a major threat to global health and food security.…
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks Associate Professor Emma Stone about her research. Emma leads the Bat Conservation Research Lab. Her research is around conservation biology, in particular the behavioural and ecological responses of wildlife to changes in the environment. She's also recently been awarded a lottery fund grant for a citizen science project, the North Somerset Bat Survey, in collaboration with the North Somerset Council.…
Professor Turi King, director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, discusses Dr Nick Priest's research paper into the identification of the multiple drivers of cactus diversification, published in Nature Communications.
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Professor Tamás Székely about his latest scientific paper titled, The Evolution of Sex Roles: The Importance of Ecology and Social Environment, which has just been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.…
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Professor Andrew Preston about his research into the group of organisms called Bordetella. The most prominent member of the Bordetella group is Pertussis which causes Whooping cough, a disease that is on the rise again.
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Dr Benjamin Padilla-Morales about the research paper he is first author on, and that has just been published in Nature Communications, titled: Sexual size dimorphism in mammals is associated with changes in the size of gene families related to brain development.…
Professor Turi King discusses the career of developmental geneticist Professor Dr Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, and how her passion for genetic analysis led to her 1995 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Professor Tiffany Taylor about her research which centres on three main and interlinking areas, experimental evolution, gene networks and bacterial defences.
