Presentations

I present regularly at interspecies mechanics conferences, mythical conservation forums, and biomechanics symposia. I have yet to give a talk where at least one audience member did not initially assume the subject matter was not serious. By the end, none of them make that mistake twice.

Keynote Addresses

• The Hoot-Purr Overlap Zone: Acoustic Convergence Across Biological Kingdoms Plenary Keynote — International Symposium on Interspecies Physics, Geneva, 2026 Presenting the full unified field theory of low-frequency vibration; accompanied by live spectrograms from field recordings of synchronised owl-cat vocalisation events
• Soft Matter, Hard Science: Redefining Biomechanical Parameters for Fluffy Systems Opening Keynote — Annual Meeting of the Society for Theoretical Zoology, Edinburgh, 2024 Overview of the Kinematics of Soft Systems framework and its application across avian, feline, and mythical taxa
