# Event Details - **Event Name**: Fuzzy Logic | Wool as the Once and Future Fibre - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Wool is one of the UK's oldest materials; is it the fibre of the future? Monica Stenzel shares her work on the sustainability of textiles.About this EventThis is an in-person event only. There is no live stream.The talk will be followed by a drinks reception in our historic library, where a paid bar will be available.Sheep's wool has been collected and crafted into cloth for millennia as well as providing a major trade commodity of England for about 1000 years. Curiously, it is one of the last natural materials to receive scientific laboratory investigation.This talk will discuss how traditional practices, new scientific instruments of analysis, and a dire sheep shortage during World War I prompted a collaboration between scientists at the University of Leeds, wool growers, and the British Government to create the field of wool science in the early 20th Century. This newly generated body of knowledge helped to inspire the creation of the field of microbiology, DNA research, and new synthetic fibres which ironically replaced wool and other natural fibres in our wardrobes.The drastic consumer switch to fossil fuel synthetics has eventually led to widespread human rights, ecological, and medical problems during our lifetime. Thankfully, through understanding and (re)applying the wool knowledge gained in the mid 20th Century we can employ it against ecological failures of today.Monica Stenzel is a PhD researcher in the History of Science and a Priestley Climate Scholar at the University of Leeds. Her doctoral project is an interdisciplinary history of formal scientific laboratory research wool in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Upon rediscovering the characteristics and optimal applications of wool and other natural fibres, she asserts that they can regain widespread application in place of the disastrous selection of petroleum-based synthetics. Ms. Stenzel's work is supported in part by the Pasold Research Fund.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ConcessionsPlease buy the concession ticket if you are any of the below:65 years of age, or overUnder 26 years of ageCurrently in receipt of UK government benefit (including, but not limited to, Income Based Jobseeker's Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Housing Benefit, and Universal Credit).Currently in full-time education.-----------------------------------------------------------This is an in-person event at the Linnean Society of London on Piccadilly, London, only.If you'd like to stay updated about our events programme, and other news, - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/fuzzy-logic-|-wool-as-the-once-and-future-fibre/100001976194117804 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Ffuzzy-logic-wool-as-the-once-and-future-fibre-tickets-1976194117804 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 9.38, max: 11.55, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Linnean Society of London - **lat**: 51.508525 - **long**: -0.139136 - **full address**: Linnean Society of London, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Linnean Society of London (https://allevents.in/org/linnean-society-of-london/22533325) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/78fa6b18ad9d2951c2fc2718a6621bb300ae63ba5b12da504b5f8c20930d79f6-rimg-w1200-h600-dcecebef-gmir.jpg?v=1767242117 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/d11bd3fc6e73c4df8d6f88aceef9be285a11af26eb405caae23f198769b16056-rimg-w400-h400-dcedecef-gmir.jpg?v=1767242116 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Linnean Society of London, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 9.38 up to 11.55 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Linnean Society of London - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Fuzzy Logic | Wool as the Once and Future Fibre ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Fuzzy Logic | Wool as the Once and Future Fibre", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/78fa6b18ad9d2951c2fc2718a6621bb300ae63ba5b12da504b5f8c20930d79f6-rimg-w1200-h600-dcecebef-gmir.jpg?v=1767242117", "startDate": "2026-02-25", "endDate": "2026-02-25", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/fuzzy-logic-|-wool-as-the-once-and-future-fibre/100001976194117804", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Linnean Society of London", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Piccadilly", "postalCode": "W1J 0BF", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.508525", "longitude": "-0.139136" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Wool is one of the UK's oldest materials; is it the fibre of the future?

Founded in 1788, the Society takes its name from the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) whose botanical, zoological and library collections have been in its keeping since 1829. As it moves into its third century the Society continues to play a central role in the documentation of the world’s flora and fauna – as Linnaeus himself did – recognising the continuing importance of such work to biodiversity conservation.Members are drawn from all walks of life, and represent the full range of professional scientists and amateurs alike with an interest in natural history. The Fellowship is international and includes world leaders in each branch of biology who use the Society's premises and publications to communicate new advances in their fields." } ] } ] ```
