@alicksimmons Thanks. The timing is total fluke!

How to do research with multiple-sides of a controversy? New article explores multi-sided #ethnography of #badgercull, how to work with opposing groups, why it's SO worthwhile, & what happened on-the-ground in badger cull #tbfree #badgers #bTB https://t.co/2uN05L57wv

@nesta_uk @martinwhite33 Congratulations! I'm thrilled this has got off the ground whilst Ive been on maternity leave. I look forward to working with you when I return to my research role in Defra in September.

@AusterRoger @CREWW_uk @ExeterGeography Congratulations Roger, brilliant news. I'm so pleased for you.

@bovinetb PS sorry for the slow reply, I'm on mat leave.

[Jess Phoenix @JessPhoenix1]

@bovinetb @NaturalEngland I think so. We didn't use only one data source for reliability reasons. As stated, our approach of bringing together info from RBCT, industry culls & trapping experts aims to provide info from a range of badger populations, making findings broadly applicable & more reliable.

[Jess Phoenix @JessPhoenix1]

@barleydrifter We couldn't statistically test to what extent it happens as we didn't have much data on sett use or individual badgers post cull. Lots of the experienced trappers said that culled badgers range more widely, see section 3.5 of the paper.

[Jess Phoenix @JessPhoenix1]

What's it like to vaccinate badgers in a post-cull landscape? New paper analyses trapping efficiency, levels of effort required, and how trappers adapt their practices to the lower density & more mobile badger population #tbfree #Badger https://t.co/NUMwryAxtk

@sartorialfoodie I have this in blue. It's perfect for nighttime feeding sessions. Highly recommended- no idea why it says it's for women. https://t.co/pmSJt173Ej

It's nearly time for our baby to vacate my premises. Only one week left!

@RuthieLittle @DefraGovUK I'm really looking forward to having you join our (ex) academia & gov social research contingent at Defra. There's quite a few of us! I'm always here if you want anything.

@PerkinsLodge That's the most useful & practical info I've received, thanks!

Today was my last day as Head of Social Research for Agri-Food Chain at Defra for 1 year as I am now on maternity leave. I will likely be less active on twitter during this time, and will instead be trying to keep a baby alive! I know amazing work will continue in my absence.
