Thanks to my amazing supervisors: Josephine Pemberton and @SuseJohnston , and my lovely co-authors too @Gfalbery and Sean and Ali Morris at @RumDeerResearch

Slightly surreal that the PhD is now 'officially' finished ... but who knows 😉

[Anna Hewett @annamhew]

📣 The final chapter of my PhD is now out in @EvolLetters !! 📣

🦌 Using genomic and fitness data from a long-term study of red deer we investigated the interaction between inbreeding depression and the environment (ID × E)

💪 BUT ... there's always lessons to be learnt about power and turns out you need a lot of variation in environmental conditions as well as inbreeding (hence why it's rarely been found in the wild), which we discuss too

Who says you can't publish a paper from a placement year #pty? Well, this is publication number two! @CUBLSResearch @OnE_CardiffUni @annamhew

Cool stuff by my colleagues at UNIL working on the hunting behavior of barn owls! 🦉

@O_o_Frank A few decades?! Frank I'm not that old 😭

Let's talk about #periods while doing #fieldwork. How do you handle them? Tampons and ziploc bags? Menstrual cups? Period panties? Suppressing them? My inquiring mind wants to know...

Pre-print is out!
We use a unique approach to investigate the genetic architecture of inbreeding depression, maximising the power of our wild dataset and ensuring effect sizes are not overestimated.

@Rebecca_SLL Thanks becca ☺️💕

[Anna Hewett @annamhew]

Haven't posted on here for a while but I think this is worthy of an update:
Im officially Dr. Hewett!
Thank you to my two wonderful examiners @simonhmartin and Ino Curick for making my viva an actually enjoyable experience with some very interesting discussion!

[Anna Hewett @annamhew]

@_applechew @simonhmartin Thanks apple 😊

[Anna Hewett @annamhew]

@martykardos @simonhmartin Thank you 😊

[Anna Hewett @annamhew]

And a big thank you to everyone that has supported me along this journey, you know who you are 🥹

[Anna Hewett @annamhew]

@palaeokatie @RumDeerResearch ☺️☺️ thanks

Celebratory tattoo of my study species after handing in my thesis!
😬😬
Real test is whether it can be ID'd by @RumDeerResearch

[Anna Hewett @annamhew]

@SantozeAdido @RumDeerResearch It's a good reason! And a prawn would look awesome 🦐
