Sad to say goodbye to all the wonderful Malacologists I met over the past week. Thank you to everyone I met who shared their knowledge and gave me invaluable advice. I can't wait for WCM 2025!

I'm recruiting for 2023! If you are interested in snails, shells, or #evodevo, please reach out. I've just started my lab at the university of Saskatchewan and would love to help you grow your passion. #gradschool#wcm2022#usask
@NHSHealthyStart received email confirmation on 21st November but still waiting for my card. How much longer is this going to be? You've stopped my paper vouchers and just left me hanging...
As the nights draw in and numbers of moths decrease, we need something to liven things up!
Enter the Moth Caterpillar World Cup!
A fun competition to find out peoples favourite moth caterpillar. Over the coming weeks 16 species will battle for this prestigious prize!
Polite plea to fellow journalists: please stop using the phrase ‘committed suicide’. It is no longer a crime.
Here’s media guidance amd alternative phrases from the @samaritans. Thanks. https://t.co/qmIRmCOyJS
@NHSHealthyStart just received my vouchers and they expire in 5 weeks time. But I've only received 3 vouchers? (And the vitamins voucher is void) This is my first lot of vouchers, what am I missing here?
🪖 We're declaring a War on Weeds across Plymouth 🪖
To help the fight against this stubborn old enemy, we've assigned a crack team of extra staff and equipped them with mean, lean weed destruction machines.
See them soon in a neighbourhood near you!

Last night Sir David Attenborough made this comment when asked if he wished to go into Space;
‘I’d sleep for a long time, I’d float for a long time but I won’t see a butterfly, I’d rather see a butterfly’

I've just registered! Even if you don't have a keen interest in moths I would recommend signing up. It is so important to find out the real impact of light pollution and you may just fall in love with these amazing little creatures while you're there.
Plus, it's free!
Deeply saddened by the news of Douglas Boyes' @diarsia sudden passing. A true hero and inspiration in the field of Lepidoptera conservation and someone whose career I have been closely following. I hope we can follow in your footsteps and honour your memory. Rest in peace Doug.
We were deeply saddened to learn of the recent sudden loss of our colleague Douglas Boyes. Doug was a hugely talented and dedicated scientist, and a kind and valued member of our biodiversity team and postgraduate community. (1/2)
First visit to Butterfly World IOW at the weekend and saw some absolutely beautiful butterflies, including white morphos, giant owl butterflies and my personal favourite of the day, the glasswing.
Unfortunately no atlas moths this time!

Please sign the petition against the proposed increase to student loan repayments.
Students are/will be graduating into a difficult job market after the pandemic & this will essentially penalise those who are able to secure work in these difficult times.
