“That’s my jaaaaam!” Samuel Ramsey says into his mouthpiece as the room erupts into applause and laughter. He stops the YouTube video—of himself, belting out pop lyrics in Thai—playing on the big screen behind him and turns back to his audience with a little bow. Clad in a black blazer over a white hoodie, his hair bleached at the tips, Ramsey has the look of a captivating entertainer. Or maybe a singer or comedian. Few would guess this dynamic raconteur is a world-renowned entomologist.
