Thank you for a wonderful 2 days! I am also "unBEElievably" excited and humbled by this Award🤩 #BEE2020

[Dr. Peggy Brady @DoesTheScience]

Thank you @BEE_Ox_2020 for a wonderful conference! While I know going virtual wasn't ideal/easy I'm very glad you did as I likely would not have been able to attend if it were person. I have learned a lot and am incredibly thankful to have had this opportunity! 🥰

[Anna Dewar @AnnaEDewar]

Really enjoyed presenting at and attending #BEE2021 over the last couple of days. Thanks so much to the organisers for putting together such a great conference! @BEE_Ox_2020 🌱🦜🦠

[Rob Barber @ra_barber]

thanks @BEE_Ox_2020 for a really nice conference :) it was great chatting with other PhD students and all the workshops were perfect for early career eco-evo researchers. And clearly I need to change my study group to merkaats.

[Elliot Howard-Spink @ElliotHowaSpi]

Omg I WON BEST TALK 😍🤩🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭 THANKS SO MUCH @BEE_Ox_2020! Was a pleasure sharing my research and thank you for organising!!!

[Lucy Rutherford @lucyrutherfor]

Excited to be discussing the findings from our paper: personality & behavioral changes in Asian elephants following death of herd members in less than half an hour at the #BEE2021 Conference! @UoCPsych @uochester @DrYellowstone

[BEE @BEE_Ox_2020]

Thanks for taking part in our panel discussion and sharing your insights and advice with us on publishing best practice for PhD students!

[Elliot Howard-Spink @ElliotHowaSpi]

For those of you attending @BEE_Ox_2020, I'll be presenting in session 4a at 2pm on age-based changes in chimpanzee tool behaviours! Come along to learn a bit about chimps and to ask any questions you like!

I'll be speaking at this tomorrow morning on the evolutionary consequences of sexual harassment & coercion in the animal kingdom 🐓🐍🦋🐒
