@MarnieGalloway Here's a link to 11hrs of bug-lessons I put together during lockdown for bored kids and their parents: https://t.co/roeVsfCQGu Might be useful?

[Greg Dickens @GregJEDickens]

Wait. My call is being recorded for training and monitoring what now?

@rudy_betrayed @geologypic But...but that's most of what wood IS.

@Bertonemyia @mskvarla36 @TheBugChicks @bug_gwen @JodyBugsMeUNL @americanbeetles @franzanth @Ehmee Well that's incredibly generous and incredibly fitting!

Pesticides at sub lethal doses seriously mess bees' sleep and circadian rhythms up. @GregJEDickens ENTOdurance challenge for @Natures_Voice and @Buzz_dont_tweet showed what this would look like in a person; this paper shows why https://t.co/nWKoUU7PUA

[Greg Dickens @GregJEDickens]

@DrBatmo @Natures_Voice @Buzz_dont_tweet Fascinating article.

I walked for 68 hours voluntarily and I knew why I was doing it. I can only imagine how horrible it must be for the bees.

I wrote a thing for professional innovators.

Are you one of them?
Do you *know* one of them?
Do you lead a team of them?

Here, this might help you later this year: https://t.co/Ih1IviukKF

Massive congrats to @ActorDougJones, @May_Wise, @iamDavidAjala, @wcruz73, @CenterWillHold and everyone else at @StarTrekCBS for best season of Trek since TNG! (I'm sorry, @TheOrville, you've been demoted). The PERFECT counterpoint to current US leadership.

Just finished watching @RMBanfield at #GIF2020. As a scientist, hearing a VP of Design Transformation say that I have a right to be creative, a right to improve things, a right to fight for the user, was very affirming. #innovation #AccidentalTronQuotes

This is a selection of the thousands of native potato varieties that grow in Peru. What is evenmore interesting is that agronomists are looking to the ancestral knowledge of Peruvian farmers to identify genetic strains that can resist climate change https://t.co/BOo5BxhDdl

@MadalinaSucala Have you ever seen how honeybees deal with these things? They hug them to death. It's 50% adorable, 50% horrifying. https://t.co/Q6M0zLOxcl

DIDN'T know @clarebalding & I had 210FM, @DrWillFowlds, and west African gorillas in common. DID know that she's an inspiration to those of us who are/were out in professional sport. Finally got to shake her hand before presenting at SPVSVMG Congress 2020! #spvsvmg20 #heroWorship

Did I maintain my cool and act like a proper professional upon meeting @kalinowski007 at @GIFlondon? Did I bollocks. On the upside, I now have a million ideas for the next #ENTOdurnance AND for adding a sense of touch to VR.

#ENTOdurance used FB tools to track our 68hour mega-marathon and raise *significant* cash for charity. Well I get to meet FB innovation rockstar, @kalinowski007, next week at @GIFLondon. I am, to put it lightly, PSYCHED. #Innovation #Facebook #OctopusRift

The time is right for a little more #DontBeEvil! I spoke about this at RCVS' Innovation Symposium 2019, and I'm looking forward to talking to business leaders about the same at https://t.co/aXk7LHKu6s. I'll let y'all know how it goes!

[Greg Dickens @GregJEDickens]

You guys know how I feel about hardcore science in professional sport! Which is one reason I'm STOKED to talk to @AlbertMundet of @BarcaInnoHub at @GIFLondon! That and he has a proven track record of not being evil #DontBeEvil #MarginalGains #ScienceInSport #Innovation

People are built to worry about the future – especially skilled professionals. Futurists and #innovation consultants @GregJEDickens and Guen Bradbury outline some possible futures for the profession, and suggest ways to be ready to get the most out of it. https://t.co/F64AZcAYvb

@LinkAdelaide @aliterative This is how often I go on twitter :P Much appreciated!

@auntyanimal @BBCSpringwatch @DickKingSmith @HMWTBadger @EssexWildlife @ChrisGPackham @michaelastracha Goregous! I love how your camera's shutter speed has slowed down the wingbeats!

After 68 hours of continuous movement, I finally succumbed to exhaustion. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement and donations for #insect #conservation! #ENTOdurance
