@SUPERDTP1 PhD student 🐸🧬Researching the evolutionary adaptations of amphibians to environmental change. Passionate about molecular ecology and evolution.

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

Enjoyed presenting my work on amphibian eDNA at the Scottish herpetology meeting as part of @GlasgowSciFest always a pleasure to get in a room with a group of amphibian and reptile enthusiasts!

Late night pond sampling paid off

@belliesimpson Congratulations Annabel!

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

@FionaHenriquez @RichardDawkins Thanks Fiona!

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

Watching @RichardDawkins discuss evolution was a fantastic way to celebrate turning 30

New #research published today provides compelling evidence that the Chinese giant #salamander is comprised of at least 7 (potentially 9) different species @OfficialZSL @IUCN_ASG @amphibiansorg @EDGEofExistence

A horrific faux pas to take a photo of my laptop screen but I’ve officially submitted my PhD thesis

Check out this new study by Bec Webb @WreckaWebb and colleagues from @OneHealthRes, showing the first successful use of RNAi to knockdown genes in Bd. This approach shows great promise for reducing the virulence of this devastating amphibian pathogen🐸🧫🍄

@ConnorWoodUWS Hi Connor

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

@rebecca_yahr I’ve spotted some fun lichens too! I’ll try get some photos for you!

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

Hope everyone enjoys some of the Andalusian herpetofauna that I’ve found while on holiday!

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

Very thankful to be able to attend this! Thoroughly engaging and I’d recommend it to everyone!

[Katharina Ruthsatz @KRuthsatz]

Many thanks again to all attendees of our @AnatomyInsights workshop "Dissecting the Tree of Life" last week @UofGlasgow ! We had a fantastic time exploring the comparative anatomy and physiology of vertebrates. See you next year in #Glasgow! @shaunkillen @Zoology_Museum

Toads (Bufo bufo), frogs (Rana temporaria) and palmate newts (Lissotriton helveticus), definitely chose the best week to explore the Scottish highlands

[SUPER Doctoral Training Partnership @SUPERDTP1]

We want to say a big thank you to our PGRs for making our Annual Student Retreat wonderful!

We hope you have learned something new and made a connection or two with someone you hadn't met before in beautiful Aviemore

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

I saw even more toads today! I’m a very happy herpetologist

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

Found so many toads, so I’m sorry if you follow me on inaturalist, I also found some stunning lichens while on my walk!

[John Howieson @JHowieson_]

Yes maybe I did just use the @SUPERDTP1 Aviemore retreat as an excuse to find toads

[Rebecca Yahr @rebecca_yahr]

Lichen lovers and potential students, take note!

If celebrity Latin names are a ploy for media attention, do they work? https://t.co/MEhsZRmW5n via @StephenBHeard

Love lichens and want to get started?
