Jennifer Daniel is Director of The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection at Henry Stewart Talks (HSTalks) and is responsible for ensuring the collection meets the needs of subscribing institutions from all around the world, including academics, researchers and pharma companies. She is always keen to liaise direct with users to understand how individuals are making use of the resource, to better understand any challenges they are facing, and how the collection can be tailored to support them. Jennifer has been with HSTalks for nearly 4-years and has rapidly progressed through the company having started out working on the design of the talks you see online. She has a keen interest and background in microbiology, specifically virology and has always had a love of learning, which is what initially drew her to HSTalks. She is keen to share the collection with others and to help them utilise the available material to support both their teaching and research.
