Had a great time yesterday joining the first FSBI PhD day! Varied & amazing #research presented. Such an impressive group and a real asset to @TheFSBI. A workshop on machine learning by @BenWilliamsSci was particularly enlightening/useful! Being at @zsllondonzoo was also a treat.

Phylogenetic analysis of fusiliers from the #Laccadives reveals a new species + two new distribution records! Caesio idreesi is named after colleague Idrees Babu for his outstanding contributions to marine biodiversity of Lakshadweep

Also massive thanks to the @TheFSBI for funding my PhD and giving me the opportunity not only to carry out my own project but also to be part of exciting collaborations like this (many featuring 🐠🐟🐠🐟)!!!

Going to see #Meg2TheTrench this weekend? Me too!

But before you do, check out my new article in @ConversationUK where I talk about #megalodon ecology, the film's creative liberties with it, and the kinds of future shark films I'd like to see. https://t.co/oW3VRsEIT0 🦈

[FSBI Symposium @fsbi_symposium]

Massive congratulations to all talk and poster prize winners from #FSBI2023. They were amazing! However, the standard was incredibly high so everyone should feel proud 👏

[Amy Shurety @amyshurety]

Today was my second time presenting at the @TheFSBI conference. A great opportunity to highlight my research to such an inspiring network of scientists ! 🐟🐠

[FSBI Symposium @fsbi_symposium]

Superstar @TheFSBI Huntingford Medal Winner @SofiaGracAranha giving an amazing presentation on deep sea #shark trophic ecology watched on by her 2 month old baby. Everyone is in awe 🙌👏

[FSBI Symposium @fsbi_symposium]

The power of the celebrity! @TheFSBI medal winner @LabRajeev showed stunning images and telling wonderful stories about India's diverse and mysterious subterranean fishes...and how their profile was quickly elevated when Leo took an interest!

[FSBI Symposium @fsbi_symposium]

We couldn't be more grateful to the amazing @fishscienceart for the many beautiful things she designed for #FSBI2023. Such a great artist and science communicator. Additional kudos to @lamb_ecology (also at @CefasGovUK) for the brilliant conference logo 🙌

[T&T Field Naturalist Club @TTFNC]

Exciting find by a team of local naturalists, including several of our club members. Such a fascinating species. Learn more here: https://t.co/vBw8gOS3w3

[T&T Field Naturalist Club @TTFNC]

And that's a wrap on the 2023 #Buccoo #Bioblitz! 🥁Over 700 species found (& counting) in just 24 hrs. 🥳Thanks to the more than 120 volunteers who joined use for our 1st in person bioblitz since 2019, our sponsors @WePutYouFirst & thanks for welcoming us, southwest #Tobago!

[Ada F. Eslava @EslavaAda]

The blue species is Letis iphianasse and the brown one Feigeria herilia. A catalogue of witch moths in #TrinidadandTobago is available for anyone curious: https://t.co/V0wcpBF2Lr

[Ada F. Eslava @EslavaAda]

One of last week’s highlights: learning about witch moths 🪄🧙‍♀️🧹 through two encounters in the corridor & bathroom of my halls of residence in #Trinidad!
These stunning #moths are from the tribe Thermesiini and both had a wingspan equivalent to my hand width!

[EMPSEB 31 @empseb31]

🦠Thank you to Lucas Mathieu for a fascinating talk giving new insights into the mysterious origins of our immune system… who would have thought that it may have to do with our gut?

@DrWillPerry @TheFSBI @micheljkaiser Wow! Congratulations, Will!!!
