Animal Flight Mechanics & Muscle Performance: a symposium in honour of Prof. Charlie Ellington FRS

20-21 September 2010, Clare College, Cambridge, UK

With generous support from The Company of Biologists Ltd and the Journal of Experimental Biology, we are delighted to host a symposium in honour of Charlie Ellington as he retires from fulltime academia. From his seminal contributions to animal flight mechanics, through his service as Editor-in-Chief of JEB, and onward through his alumni, Charlie has had an immense impact upon his field. This symposium draws together speakers from the international community of animal flight researchers, together with alumni and co-workers in the wider field of animal mechanics. It promises to provide a wide-ranging and state-of-the-art review of the field, and all are welcome to attend. Please see the links to the left for practical details and below for a list of speakers.
