SUMMARY:The Brad Ashby Memorial Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<br><br><p>Most terrestrial animals naturally accumulate electrostatic char
 ges, meaning that they will generate electric forces that interact with oth
 er charges in their environment, including those on or within other organis
 ms. Join us on a journey through the often unnoticed ecological role of sta
 tic electricity in nature. Dr Sam England will discuss how electrostatic fo
 rces attract pollen onto butterflies and moths, allowing them to be more ef
 ficient pollinators; how the charge of tick hosts like cows, dogs, and huma
 ns, pulls ticks across air gaps to make them better parasites; and finally 
 how many insects can detect static electricity, and use it to sense the app
 roach of their predators.</p><p>Dr Sam J. England first studied for a Maste
 rs degree in Physics with Australian Study at the University of Exeter, UK 
 and the University of Wollongong, Australia. Then, he moved into the biolog
 ical realm, working with Prof Daniel Robert on electrostatic ecology and co
 mpleting his PhD in Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol, UK in
  2023, where he won the award for best PhD thesis in the faculty. Currently
 , Sam is a postdoctoral researcher at the Museum of Natural History in Berl
 in, Germany, working with Dr Lauren Sumner-Rooney on the eyes and other sen
 ses of spiders.</p><br><br><h3>Brad Ashby Memorial Lecture</h3><p>This annu
 al lecture is delivered by the <a href="https://www.benhs.org.uk/" target="
 _blank"><u><strong><b><strong><b>British Entomological &amp; Natural Histor
 y Society</b></strong></b></strong></u></a> and <a href="https://www.lnhs.o
 rg.uk/" target="_blank"><u><strong><b><strong><b>London Natural History Soc
 iety</b></strong></b></strong></u></a> as a joint venture in memory of Char
 les Bradwin Ashby (1920 - 1994). Brad was a prominent member of both organi
 sations and in 1985 he proposed the joint meetings which have successfully 
 continued to this day, and since 2020 have been in a virtual format.</p><p>
 This online event is being supported by the Biological Recording Company. I
 t is free to attend and open to all, however, <b>booking is essential:</b>
