@MeropsField Thank you for an amazing stay - excellent hosts - great local knowledge - impressive array of equipment - delicious food - great accommodation and the site is a real gem. Couldn't have been better. Highly recommend if you're planning a field course!

@StagecoachEMid I can see there are no scheduled disruptions but the road is still closed in both directions and the live map for the 28 shows the busses taking an alternative route from Farnsfield to Kirklington and then Southwell, missing out Edingley and Halam?

@TylerCowlishaw @UniofNottingham @UoNLifeSci Well done, that's awesome! :)

Very cool investigation of the role of an ancient inversion in adaptation.

@AndrewFoote2 Thanks Andy! 😁

Did the benthic and limnetic stickleback in BC have a single origin?

Manuscript now on @biorxivpreprint

Really happy to finally have this thesis chapter: mate-choice in stickleback out in @Ecol_Evol. All the #Uist locals thought we were mad with all our #sticklback in plastic boxes on the front drive during fieldwork!! Made for a good talking point in the pub though 😂

The MacColl lab has a new manuscript out, describing genomic parallelism across multiple adaptive radiations of stickleback in Alaska, British Columbia, Scotland and Iceland:

Totally last minute, totally scary, totally incredible experience! Completely taken aback by how amazing this turned out to be. Met some wonderful people, learned about such a vibrant culture, been on #Indonesian radio! So glad to have had the chance to go & represent @UoNLifeSci

Our pet #harvestmice are so very funny (& completely insane!). They #LOVE to run on their wheel so much they literally fly round it! 😂🤣😂 https://t.co/SOLOWJJyJ6 #CutenessOverload #animals #animallovers #funniness #pets

@stu_y Well done Stu! 😁😁😁

Currently looking after some #HarvestMice for a friend, me & Donald are best buddies now! #IsntHeLovely #BallOfFluff

First PhD paper finally online!💪->https://t.co/DnMmcYcgdm

Combining in situ obs and lab exp, I investigated how reef #fish deal w extreme #temperature and argue that #behavioural plasticity may be the key.

Definitly the chapter I enjoyed the most😀

What feels like my life's work is finally ready... our work on #speciation in sympatric #stickleback species-pairs is out in
@MBE_press, a huge collaborative effort @AndrewFoote2 @DanDagostino_ @Suz_McG @MacColl_Lab & others not on twitter, thanks all! :) https://t.co/7ZrWh73TbP
