INTRODUCING THE ANC COMMITTEE 
Emily Baird
Emily's research career began at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia with degrees in both Science (majoring in Neuroscience) and Arts (with a focus on Philosophy, Anthropology, Social and Political Theory). During this time she became interested in understanding the neural basis of behaviour and decided to continue research in this field with a Neuroscience Honours degree. She began working at the Centre for Visual Science with Prof. Mandyam Srinivasan and Dr Shaowu Zhang, who introduced her to the wonderful world of visual flight control in the honeybee, which was the subject of both her Honours and PhD degrees. After finishing her PhD, Emily spent six months as a post-doctoral researcher working with Prof. Martin Egelhaaf at the University of Bielefeld in Germany, where she developed techniques to investigate and record the strategies that honeybees use when learning landmarks. In 2018, she moved to the Department of Zoology at Stockholm University where she was first appointed as a senior lecturer and is currently employed as a Professor. Her research focusses on understanding how environmental factors, such as light and temperature, affect insect behaviour, with a particular focus on orientation, navigation and pollination.
Miriam Liedvogel
Prof. Dr. Miriam Liedvogel is Director of the Institute of Avian Research “Vogelwarte Helgoland” and Professor of Ornithology at Carl-von-Ossietzky University Oldenburg. She is fascinated by the phenomenon of bird migration and asks with her research, how this fascinating behaviour is controlled, coordinated and regulated on the molecular level? Miriam has been awarded various prices for her research and fellowships, e.g. the JED Williams Medal, Fellowship of the Royal Institute of Navigation, DFG, MPG, and besides regularly talking at both national and international scientific conferences, enjoys to communicate science to children and the general public. You can learn more about her research focus, the key questions she is addressing and the wider impact of her research in this video clip. David Barrie David Barrie’s first book, Sextant, was shortlisted for the Mountbatten Literary Award. His second, Incredible Journeys (Supernavigators in North America) was The Sunday Times Nature Book of the Year and won the Gold Nautilus Book Award. A version of Supernavigators adapted for young people was published in April 2025. David studied experimental psychology and philosophy at Oxford University, where he first became interested in the study of animal behaviour.
