Great way to combine your daily exercise with some valuable #CitizenScience in #Chester, and also a lovely reminder to just slow down and enjoy the world around you! 🌿🌳🐜🪲🐌🕷️🐦🪱🦆🐀🌼

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us! 8/8

[Chester Conservation @ChesterConsBio]

Well, it's been quite a year...we've had fieldwork interrupted, labs closed, projects put on hold and a huge amount of upheaval in our personal and working lives. But, despite all this, we've a lot to be proud of this year... 1/7

[Chester Conservation @ChesterConsBio]

We've more manuscripts on the way from some more of our PhD researchers, including @gernome, @AlexTLancaster and one of our @MMU_CEB exiles, @MZatrak, plus new PhD research starting in the New year with @raptor_jimmi, what's not to like? 7/8

Really excited to hear @popgenchen give her seminar about tracking short-term evolution in a pedigreed wild population to @BioSciChester @ChesterConsBio next week. DM me for the link if you'd like to watch too!

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

Really pleased that our @BioSciChester Seminar Series will kick off this year with Prof Zenobia Lewis @Zen_of_Science from the University of Liverpool on the 29th September at 13:00 with her talk "Breaking barriers: Navigating an academic career". DM me for the link, all welcome.

Out in Early View today, paper with @achazhardenberg. Distribution of White-faced darter - a declining dragonfly species. Thanks to @BDSdragonflies and @ScotlandBds for all their help.

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

Next up from @BioSciChester @ChesterConsBio we have @GW_Shannon who will talk about how he uses acoustic approaches to study the effects of human disturbance on wildlife: THIS TUESDAY 7th July at 1pm BST. All welcome - DM me for access link.

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

Well done to Susie Phillips on our new paper with @CheshireWT @ARC_Bytes that finds evidence of inbreeding in reintroduced populations of a protected amphibian and supports further management actions to ensure survival. With @lovethedove11 @Rachjb27 @MattGeary
