Ever wondered what happens to a male #insect when it is infected by an obligate killing pathogenic #fungus? Well have a look at this paper from my PhD! Also, if you haven't wondered about it, have a read too! @KU_PLEN@LSI_Exeter@insectdoctors
@englishse The screen was so tall! Luckily I could escape behind it to see all the people asking the great questions! I had a great time. Thanks so much for coming!
Ever wondered whether sexual selection leads to condition-dependence or if it's the other way around? Check out our new paper where we tested one of those directions...
Our new study:
Sexually-selected traits tend to be more condition-dependent. *But* is this relationship causal? We manipulated sexual selection to test how condition-dependence evolves in flies

For the last 5 years I've been semi-convinced that my work isn't PhD standard and I'm at risk of being found out- what a relief that it is now TOO LATE for that as I have passed my viva π₯³
Early in the spring we were blessed with a little visitor who liked to take snoozes in the sun on the roof outside our window, and NOW there is a whole gang of playful cubs (4 in total).π¦β€ @EleanorBath1

Thank you to the students who nominated me - it's been such a pleasure teaching them! Also, I couldn't have done any of it without Martin - such a legend!
So great to see two members of Biology, @EleanorBath1 and Martin Hurajt, recognised for their innovation and hard work delivering and supporting our MBiol students!
Fully-funded PhD opportunity for UK students in #evolution#epigenetics#ageing#nutrition#neurobiology. Join our team exploring how male age and diet impacts offspring health and neurodevelopment at University of Oxford. https://t.co/uEXLrG7Kzi. Please RT & send to undergrads!
I'm unable to strike today, but solidarity to all @ucu members taking industrial action and who are fighting for decent pay, pensions and secure contracts. #OneOfUsAllOfUs
