SUMMARY:The Brad Ashby Memorial Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\n\n\nMost terrestrial animals naturally accumulate electrostatic charges
 , meaning that they will generate electric forces that interact with other 
 charges in their environment, including those on or within other organisms.
  Join us on a journey through the often unnoticed ecological role of static
  electricity in nature. Dr Sam England will discuss how electrostatic force
 s attract pollen onto butterflies and moths, allowing them to be more effic
 ient pollinators; how the charge of tick hosts like cows, dogs, and humans,
  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 approa
 ch of their predators.\n\n\nDr Sam J. England first studied for a Masters d
 egree in Physics with Australian Study at the University of Exeter, UK and 
 the University of Wollongong, Australia. Then, he moved into the biological
  realm, working with Prof Daniel Robert on electrostatic ecology and comple
 ting his PhD in Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol, UK in 202
 3, where he won the award for best PhD thesis in the faculty. Currently, Sa
 m is a postdoctoral researcher at the Museum of Natural History in Berlin, 
 Germany, working with Dr Lauren Sumner-Rooney on the eyes and other senses 
 of spiders.\n\n\nBrad Ashby Memorial Lecture\n\nThis annual lecture is deli
 vered by the British Entomological &amp; Natural History Society and London
  Natural History Society as a joint venture in memory of Charles Bradwin As
 hby (1920 - 1994). Brad was a prominent member of both organisations and in
  1985 he proposed the joint meetings which have successfully continued to t
 his day, and since 2020 have been in a virtual format.\n\n\nThis online eve
 nt is being supported by the Biological Recording Company. It is free to at
 tend and open to all, however, booking is essential: https://www.eventbrite
