Save the date: 15 May PhD/postdoc day, before the main NLSEB conference. Time to meet your peers through flash talks and workshops!👩‍🔬#junior_NLSEB

[Yani Meiborg @YMeiborg]

My first ever first-author paper has now officially been published!!!
Thank you @GregorGorjanc for the opportunity, and thank you @Nicky_Faber_, @BenTaylorEvo, and @Harpur for your vital contribution!

@AgBioWorld Wow check out this brave frog @YMeiborg @GregorGorjanc @Harpur @gusmcfarlane 😱

[Nicky Faber @Nicky_Faber_]

Check out our new preprint if you're into Varroa mites and gene drives 🐝😁

[Nicky Faber @Nicky_Faber_]

My research was covered by a national news paper 😱😃🤓🥳 Thanks to everyone involved! @roslininstitute @HighlanderLab @GregorGorjanc @gusmcfarlane @ChrisGaynor11 @IvanPocrnic @ Bruce Whitelaw @bartpannebakker @WUR

#Genetica | Hoe bestrijd je invasieve soorten? @Nicky_Faber_ van #WUR ontdekte hoe je een stokje kunt steken voor voortplanting van invasieve soorten. De methode brengt echter wel risico's met zich mee. Lees hier meer over deze 'Trojaanse soortgenoten'. https://t.co/jc4IwBvEP5

”I think we simply need to tell the truth. We should be adult enough to handle the truth. And the truth can be quite frightening in some ways – but it is also hopeful.”

Last week I had a long conversation with David Attenborough. You can read it here:

@ian_g_brennan @kfergy @DamienEsquerre Wow super cool, thanks! One question: can you just use any image for this, or will copyright be an issue because the cartoon is quite heavily based on the image?

[Nicky Faber @Nicky_Faber_]

@Jackson_Champer Congratulations!! 🥳

Tomorrow on CGDG we will have @Nicky_Faber_ from @HighlanderLab talking about her work modelling gene drives to control invasive grey squirrels. As usual, 4pm UK time. See you there! @Alpha_Genes

[Nicky Faber @Nicky_Faber_]

There are even a few colour-blind-proof birds 😃🐦

[Geoffrey Thomson @GojThomson]

Announcing the new Manu #Rstats package 📦 which provides a selection of colour palettes for #dataviz based on the beautiful native birds of NZ!

My first contribution to science 😃🎉

[HighlanderLab @HighlanderLab]

We have designed and modelled a novel combination of gene drives called HD-ClvR (Homing, Daisyfield, and Cleave-and-Rescue). @Nicky_Faber_ @gusmcfarlane @ChrisGaynor11 @IvanPocrnic B.Whitelaw @GregorGorjanc Preprint: https://t.co/588Ls515lM
