We are excited to welcome speaker Ian Bynoe, a distant relative of Benjamin Bynoe, the ship’s surgeon on the HMS Beagle and Charles Darwin’s doctor during the famous voyage. Ian has spent many years researching his ancestor’s life and work, drawing on historical records, family history, and wider maritime and medical context. His talk offers a unique perspective, combining careful scholarship with a personal connection to one of the lesser-known but vital figures in Darwin’s story.
