Bob Foster

Join us for a fascinating talk on cybersecurity in the modern world with Professor Awais Rashid, a leading expert in the field.

MV Balmoral

Professor Daniel Robert is a world-leading expert in sensory biology and sensory ecology. His research explores the extraordinary ways in which insects and spiders perceive their environment through tiny, highly refined sensory organs — honed by millions of years of evolution to detect the faintest vibrations, sounds, and even electric fields.Daniel’s recent work has revealed that bees can detect the minute electric fields that build up between themselves and flowers, helping them decide which blooms to visit. This “electric sense” appears to be more widespread than previously imagined, with evidence now emerging in spiders, caterpillars, and treehoppers. Understanding how these miniature sensors work not only deepens our appreciation of insect intelligence and communication, but could also inspire new technologies — from ultra-sensitive microphones to advanced electric sensors and hearing aids.Join us aboard the MV Balmoral from 7pm for a 7.45pm start. Tour the ship, grab a drink at the bar, and settle in for a revealing evening.This is a FREE event — arrive early to get a seat.
