This still hasn’t sunk in properly! I am absolutely over the moon to be named the overall winner, it was an incredible experience to share my work 🐝 #BES2019 @StirBES

[British Ecological Society @BritishEcolSoc]

We are pleased to announce that the Overall Winner of the Anne Keymer Student Talk Prize from #BES2019 is @JessicaBurrows! Many congratulations to Jessica, for their outstanding talk on the effect of Chernobyl-level radiation exposure on bumblebees 🐝 https://t.co/Lt1PHr1BfB

Hello from Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #NFLonNetflix

@TimMeek8 What a beauty she is!

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

@TimMeek8 So sorry you lost her Tim! She looked a good one ❤️ I went ahead and got myself 3 now!

Nick Beresford @radioecology died a year ago, I miss him so much. He had wanted to post some of the scientific achievements he was most proud of but didn’t get the chance so this thread features those that some of his close friends and I think he may have chosen. 🧵

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

A fantastic #phd opportunity with a fantastic supervisor, please share!

[David Copplestone @dcoppl]

Interested in doing a fully funded PhD that will help dispose of our radioactive waste? We are looking for someone to join us @StirBES @Nuclear_WS @RSO_GDF_UK to estimate chemical toxicity to wildlife. Further details: https://t.co/PLNUxiMtci

@StuAuld The flooding of the bottom floor every time there’s a downpour would also make a great priority number two… pardon the pun!

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

@TimMeek8 You are so talented Tim, I need some of your work! Perhaps change pink to plonk and it would fit me perfectly!

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

Four years and a global pandemic later… I passed my PhD Viva and became Dr Jess 🐝 ☢️ exceptionally lucky to have had excellent supervision, support and friendship throughout! #PhDone 🎉

@WoodEcology @tommaso_jucker @EFuenMont @ForestryTrust @Forest_Research @drmikeperksFR @StirBES @StirUni @royal_forestry @TheICF @CREAF_ecologia @StirlingScience @AlistairJump Huge congrats Tom! Can’t wait to collaborate with you one day… #ringstingforever

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

@TimMeek8 @StirBES Massively deserved Tim!! I could not be more happy for you x

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

@StuAuld I know of PhD students accessing food banks due to rising rent and bills, I am still shocked even now at this email!

[Dr Addy Lowe @adriana_lowe]

NERC just sent an email out recognising that the cost of living increase means its PhD stipend isn't sufficient to live on.

Their solution isn't to increase it, it's to suggest students start selling Avon and sign up to clinical trials...

@Doug_Being_Doug This has never worked for me! I always ended up with about 40 bees congaing around the room 💃

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

Blog Post 🚨 the first paper from my PhD has been featured on the @FunEcology blog! It was such a pleasure writing this with them and I would hugely appreciate if you gave it a read for some #bumblebee / #Chernobyl research and a cheeky bee pun 🐝 @StirUni @StirBES @IapetusDTP

[Functional Ecology @FunEcology]

☢️Sub-lethal radiation dose rates at Chernobyl may have unexpected impacts on the overall ecosystem🐝

📖Check out this blogpost from @JessicaBurrows where she investigates the potential consequences of radiation on bumblebee feeding and metabolism.

@radioecology @NERCscience @UK_CEH @StirBES Thank you so much Nick! Its amazing to finally see this out in the world

[Prof Nick Beresford @radioecology]

NEW PAPER congrats to ⁦@JessicaBurrows⁩ on 1st paper from ⁦@NERCscience⁩ PhD - https://t.co/wg3CHfWeD5 - radiation, metabolic rate, nectar consumption & bumblebees. ⁦@UK_CEH⁩ ⁦@StirBES⁩

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

We speculate that #bumblebees may need to feed more to repair damage caused by radiation. An increase in consumption for bumblebees could have important ecological consequences, as they may need to spend more time foraging to collect #nectar to fuel their #metabolism.

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

So excited that the first paper from my PhD is now out in @FunEcology! If you are interested in #bumblebees or #Chernobyl then please give this paper a read and let me know your thoughts! 🐝 @StirBES @IapetusDTP

[Dr. Jess Burrows @JessicaBurrows]

We found that when bumblebees were exposed to radiation dose rates similar to those currently found in Chernobyl, nectar consumption and metabolic rate both increased.
