Banded mongooses on the big stage in Melbourne!!! #ISBE2024. Great way to finish my PhD

[Graham Birch @Graham_Birch_]

So my 3rd PhD paper also came in Antioxidants! Shows male banded mongooses defend the next generation from oxidative damage. Doubt I'll have 2 papers out on same day again! @jonblount007 @HazelJNichols MagaliMeniri MichaelCant ChrisMitchell @MDPIOpenAccess https://t.co/r43VZrvxQz

My 2nd paper of the PhD is out! All about how male banded mongooses adaptively adjust their reproductive activity over their lives #Lifehistory #tradeoff @RSocPublishing

@ghancockzoology @DaniRabaiotti @johnlbirch It was my dad's fault to be fair. His reviews. Anything to get that Amazon reviewing ranking up, amiright? @johnlbirch

@DaniRabaiotti @johnlbirch I'm one of those evil people who don't drink tea, unless it's fruit tea or something not real. Could have been useful for the fresh passionate fruit juice I was making out there regularly I guess. I miss that dearly as well as avocados the size of a human head.

Proud to say I had my PhD viva last week! The best part is ALWAYS the cake, amazing stuff from Sophie! Don't have any time to catch my breath as flying out tomorrow and giving a talk at ECBB (Zurich) on Wednesday, 3 days later Aus for some fieldwork in the outback before ISBE!

[Graham Birch @Graham_Birch_]

@DaniRabaiotti @johnlbirch I sadly had no use of the tea strainers with the mongooses!

@chena_desai @ecbb2024 Hi Sorry I organised something for myself in the end. Worth looking at airbnb for much better deals than hostels/hotels

[Graham Birch @Graham_Birch_]

If anyone is going to ECBB and wants to organise accommodation together please message me! It looks like I'll be the only one going from my department @ecbb2024 #ECBB2024

[Graham Birch @Graham_Birch_]

First PhD publication is out! Perspective on how to assess #intergenerational #reproductive #lifehistory #tradeoffs in males, and selection for shielding the next generation from oxidative damage https://t.co/9CFz2UDmTL @GW4plusDTP @UniExeCEC JonBlount MagaliMeniri @CantMichael

See you in Melbourne in 2024...

[Carly Lynsdale @CarlyLynsdale]

Packed room for @AmyLeedale on the last day of #ISBE2022. Great presentation on a great study of #kinrecognition and #incestavoidance in #molerats

[Josh Arbon @JoshJArbon]

A Penryn-packed symposium today to close out @ISBE2022 in room 27! I’ll be giving my thoughts on dominance in open societies at 11:25, with @collectiveEcol @Tobit_Dehnen and @KingsleyLHunt all presenting!

[Graham Birch @Graham_Birch_]

Hermaphrodites - what an amazing study system! Great talk by Maria-Cristina Lorenzo comparing the oxidative cost of reproduction between the sexes in polychaete worms #ISBE2022.
