A special thanks to my PhD examiners @SarahMDurant and @ReganEarly!

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

I am very pleased to share that I have passed my PhD Viva with minor corrections! 🏆 I have been lucky enough to be supported by a fantastic team of supervisors: @tnewbold31, @dawson_t, and @NinaBhola from @UCLCBER, @kcl_pebes and @unepwcmc respectively.

💼 I am now looking for my next challenge. I have a special interest in science policy, but I am open to discuss any opportunities in the field of environmental science and conservation biology. Please do get in touch if you are aware of any open positions within your network.

@andreacrasto @NorthumbriaUni Some great research here! Thanks for your talk.

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

Have you always wanted to know how we can identify patches of climatically suitable intact habitat that is large enough to support species into the future? Now is your chance! Come along to my talk at 11.15 in Session 'Climate Change I', AD11. #ICCB2023 #Rwanda #phdlife #mammal

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

Very excited for the @IUCN Plenary! We will hear thoughts on how to effectively implement the Kunming - Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in Africa. #ICCB2023 #Rwanda

@drnickisaac Hi Nick! I'm also here, let's meet up

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

The @UCLCBER Seminar was expertly lead by @_RachelHester today. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the invasion history of the Alpine Newt in the UK. Rachel's talk was both engaging and comprehensive - congratulations!

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

Today I hand over the reigns of the @UCLCBER Newsletter to @daanscheepens. I have been head of the CBER Newsletter since October 2020, and it has been my privilege gathering all of the fantastic news that goes on in our department for the past few years. I will miss it!

I'm very excited to have been invited to 'Parliamentary Links Day' at Portcullis House through my voluntary work on the @BESPolicy Committee. This promises to be an important event that aims to strengthen the dialogue between the scientific community, MPs and peers. #LinksDay23

We can all play a part in making the ecological community more inclusive🌈
One simple way to do this is to correctly use pronouns & gender-neutral language to reduce misgendering. To help with this, check out the ALDER Network's handy guide📖 #PrideMonth

The #LevellingUP Bill is a chance for our National Parks to realise their potential for nature & climate.

A year ago, the Government accepted Glover
recommendations that would help make this happen.

It's time to start putting them into action.

Scientists & authors of landmark nature reviews have written to @RishiSunak calling for: 

🏞️Changes in #LevellingUp Bill to boost power of national parks 

🌳Target on condition of nature sites to help protect 30% of land for nature by 2030

Today I was at the Natural History Museum listening to a series of talks on how #ArtificialIntelligence is being used in the #naturalsciences in an event organised by @ucl @turinginst and @NHM_London. Great to see @ProfKateJones and other members of @UCLCBER presenting research!

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

Wonderful to meet with colleagues @danielarussi14 @josephjbailey from the BES protected area policy report as we listened to the launch of @WCL_News 30x30 progress report. @BESPolicy #nature2030
BES PA Report (https://t.co/Qt26meuUh9)

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

For the UK to be a respected player on the international stage at COP 27 and COP 15, we need to ensure our domestic policies are in check. Effectively protecting 30% of land and sea for nature is a minimum. Great to hear all the talks today on this topic. @WCL_News #nature2030

[Chloë A Metcalfe @ChloeAMetcalfe]

Today a visit to the parliamentary estate. I am very excited to listen to the launch of Link's progress report on protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030. #nature2030
