The Geoffrey Harrison Prize Lecture is awarded annually by the Parkes Foundation in Geoffrey Harrison's honour to persons who have made a substantial and sustained contribution to the study of human biology and especially biosocial sciences.
This year the prize was awarded to Professor Melissa Parker (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) who gave the inaugural Geoffrey Harrison Prize Lecture on 3 November in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. The title of her talk was 'Ebola: A Biosocial Journey'.
