One dream for a scientist is to discover something that changes the textbooks. Big congratulations to @SamadiHGD - her work on insect play has found its way into this new biology book! @QM_SBBS@QMUL
Thank you so much @SamadiHGD for visiting us these past two weeks! It was wonderful to have you here in person and for you to talk about your incredible work on bumblebee cognition through play!
Congratulations to @SamadiHGD who led a multinational team that has won the Pineapple Science Award for their work on bumblebee play (some of which you will have read about in the June BeeCraft).
Happy that our team led by @SamadiHGD on play behaviour in bumblebees is recognised with the Pineapple Science Award, awarded by Zhejiang Science and Technology Museum Hangzhou, China "to honor research with great imagination and to arouse the public enthusiasm for science".
Bumblebees play? Yes, they do, and @QM_SBBS's @SamadiHGD, @LChittka just won Pineapple Science Award for proving it! This award recognises imaginative research that aims to arouse public enthusiasm for science. https://t.co/wREQCE2Lix
Lovely article by @caroring in the current issue of German Greenpeace Magazin about our work on bee sentience and its welfare implications @SamadiHGD@QM_SBBS
Exciting day for me - @LChittka and I have been awarded a grant of around $1m by @open_phil to look for markers of sentience in insects, and we are recruiting *TWO* postdocs. The ads are here, and please DM or email if you have questions: https://t.co/562un2Nsks
