We hope to be able to give more information in the next issue. A reminder about the 6th International Symposium to be held in Turin 16 to 19 September 2014. while the main article concerns a little known simuliidologist, Arthur Pomeroy, who led a remarkable life. The future of the British Simuliid Group and the Bulletin. Founded in 1979, The British Simuliid Group’s objective was to coordinate blackfly research in the U.K. and to provide a means of disseminating knowledge. At that time a stimulus to research was provided by the growth of the WHO Onchocerciasis Control Programme and the research funds available from WHO and other funding agencies and interested countries. Inevitably, due to the passage of time, the completion of the WHO Vector Control Programme and the activities of the Grim Reaper the number of active blackfly workers in Britain has now fallen from its peak of about 40 to a mere half dozen.

British Simuliid Group Bulletin (February 2009) Number 31 1 FROM THE EDITOR This 31st Bulletin follows the very successful 3rd International Simuliidae Symposium held in Vilnius in September 2008, and therefore contains a brief description of the meeting. It is also accompanied by a slightly condensed version of the Abstract Book containing the authors’ abstracts of both the oral presentations and posters. It is your Editor’s opinion that the general standard of the papers was high, and because most of the delegates were housed in the conference hotel, there was close social contact as we all met over breakfast and lunch. For me, a life-long controller of Simuliids, the most significant event was the presentation of two papers by Cheke, Traore and colleagues and a video film of the eradication of the Bioko form of Simulium yahense from the island of Bioko off the west coast of Central Africa, thereby halting the transmission of river blindness on that island. The symposium also highlighted the increasing numbers of scientists from central Europe who are interested in the Simuliidae.

In Search of Health, Freedom & Identity: An Analysis of Isabella Bird's and Margaret Fountaine's Renovation of Self through Travel & Travel Writing Abstract “An Analysis of Isabella Bird’s and Margaret Fountaine’s Renovation of Self through Travel & Travel Writing” tracks three interdependent facets of identity that become apparent in the travel literature of Victorian ladies Isabella Lucy Bird and Margaret Fountaine. These facets are: • the socialized self (the identity developed as a result of the society in which one grows up) • the renovated self (the identity developed through interacting with and adapting to other cultures ) • and the edited self (the identity one creates when she writes about her experiences—for my thesis specifically, the identity the author creates to reconcile her socialized and renovated selves) Bird’s and Fountaine’s identities developed very similarly, but modern scholars discuss these women in drastically different terms.

Hancock certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: BOFFIN'S BOOKS AND DARWIN'S FINCHES: VICTORIAN CULTURES OF COLLECTING Committee: Dorice Williams Elliott (Chairperson) Max Keith Sutton Marjorie Swann Date approved ii ABSTRACT Michael W. Hancock, Ph.D. Department of English, University of Kansas December 2006 Although wealthy continental virtuosos had passionately and selectively accumulated a variety of natural and artificial objects from the Renaissance onwards, not until the nineteenth century did collecting become a conspicuous national pastime among all classes in Britain. As industry and empire made available many new and exotic goods for acquisition and display, the collection as a cultural form offered the Victorians a popular strategy of self-fashioning that was often represented in the literature of the age as a source of prestige and social legitimation. Through interdisciplinary readings of Victorian fiction, narrative nonfiction, and poetry, my study examines how textual representations of collecting helped to define nation, class, and gender in Britain from the 1830s to the turn of the century and beyond. Combining literary analysis with cultural criticism, including approaches from museum studies, I explain how Victorian writing about collecting, from Charles Dickens's earliest works to fin-de-siècle lepidopteran narratives, participated in the formation of individual and collective identities.

  • Revealing Lives: Women in Science, 1830-2000: Abstracts
    REVEALING LIVES: WOMEN IN SCIENCE, 1830-2000: ABSTRACTS DAY 1 – Thursday 22 May 2014 11.15-13.00 Session 1A – Representations Crystal Clear – Communicating Science and the Work of Women Scientists in the theatre in Rosalind and Hidden Glory. Dr Carina Bartleet, Oxford Brookes University The paper will explore the representations of women in scientists in two semi-biographical works for the theatre that depict two prominent women crystallographers of the twentieth century, Deborah Gearing’s Rosalind (Franklin) and Georgina Ferry’s Hidden Glory (Dorothy Hodgkin). The focus will be to explore how these two pieces for the theatre depict both the lived experience of women scientists and the science itself. It will argue that theatrical representation, which is always a re- presentation, works within existing recuperative motifs (such as Adrienne Rich’s ‘Re-vision’) in order to explore a gendered division of labour that mirrors the female scientist’s work with that of the female performer in communicating science through theatre. It will pay attention to aspects of theatrical representation including spectatorship and theatrical conventions in order to explore how each piece stages the story of women in science by placing them at the centre of the theatrical event but as subjects rather than objects of representation. The plots of the plays, and their performance will be read alongside biographical narrative in order to determine whether the plays offer more than mere biographical information and how narrative is pieced together to present a postdramatic and performative presentation of the scientific subject. Urania’s Daughters – Caroline Herschel, Maria Mitchell and Emily Dickinson in Astronomy and Verse Dr Annja Neumann, School of Advanced Study, University of London The German-born British astronomer Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) was the first female scientist who was paid by the state for her services.
