Very proud to have been awarded 'Top Performing Student' in the MRes Biosystematics cohort, but also incredibly proud of @ClemPrieul who achieved this award alongside me.

It's a special feeling being able to say that all our hard work together was worth it.

Thanks @NHM_London

@SajadAlipour98 Anything that isn't a honeybee foraging on those?

Huge visible display of resistance by Stand Up to Racism in Plymouth tonight, to counter a comparatively much smaller far right crowd.

Check out @AntiRacismDay if you want to go to any of their planned anti racism demos over the next week.

Some May wildlife highlights from France's forest national park! Stag beetle, Swallowtail, Sabot de Vènus orchid and a big old sawfly.

About 3 weeks into data collection and 2 of those weeks have been rainy. Perks of fieldwork...

Please cite all R resources in your papers. A lot of effort has been paid to develop them. This package make it easy to do so.

Had a blast recording this podcast with Vikki and Suzanna! Tune in for insights into global pollinator diversity, arctic bumblebees and incredible lepidopteran research! 🦋🐝

@BeeBabette I put a white box behind the whole slide, save entire slide as an image, import to Inkscape and then export as a high quality JPG/PNG!

A great first day of surveying pollinator networks in the Parc National de Forêts, blessed too by a Swallowtail mid-transect. It didn't visit a flower, but it did pose for maybe the most symmetrical photo ever?

I'm looking for a few more moth trappers who would be happy to help collect parasitoid wasps 🐝🦋 as part of my PhD (equipment and postage provided). Especially looking for people in the unfilled vice-counties and Northern Ireland! @BroadGavin @WaspWoman Message me for more info

Thank you @Eucera for a great day of pollinator ecology and sampling training at the Leckford Estate. Just in time for field season :)
