In this review with @PeterGraystock @Sop_Evo @richjgill we show how brood pathogen and pesticide coexposure in bees can occur and what implications this has. We also quantify the literature bias in these areas and highlight what future work should address

My newest paper is out! Commensal microbes are often seen as benign agents peacefully occupying space, but how does the context the microbe finds itself in influence its interaction with the host? Can you help or exploit depending on the circumstances? 🐝🦠https://t.co/SiJMG6FwUP

Bugs, Birds and Beasts Day is a fun opportunity to chat to the public about our cool species of interest at @Silwood_Park. 🪲🐦🦇Here's me with part of our stalls with @PeterGraystock and @richjgill telling people about bees! 🐝

@aoifecj @richjgill Congratulations, Aoife!! 🥳

[Aoife Cantwell-Jones @aoifecj]

Very excited to have this paper out in Ecology Letters with @richjgill ! https://t.co/Nc3TnPe76K We summarise recent developments in how we can use intraspecific variation to better understand plant-pollinator interactions 🐝🦋🌼🌸

My honeybee brood-the only PhD Life Science photo shortlisted for @imperialcollege photo competition.🙀The goal was to engage the general public via an image and summary (they are cute & alien enough to grab the spotlight)😻 @Silwood_Park you can vote on https://t.co/pp3YXzJ5Ee

I finally signed up to Mastodon 🦣🐘 It's still a little lonely there, and I see way too few posts on #entomology #microbio and #ecology 😔 so, if you have an account, please follow me on https://t.co/Z03aFJoi4s

It was an honour to teach #CitizenScience and #ScienceLiteracy at @BardCollege 2024. This programme gives students the tools to evaluate the scientific information that they encounter in their daily lives. Everyone should take it! 😁 Also, look at one of our cool coliform plates!

Bonus: fun flashback to the citizen science sessions sorting the samples by species 😁😊

[Monika Yordanova @Entomony]

How exciting to see the fruits of our labour during my master's project come out 🐝 @ionace @WaspWoman @KontouD @AdamHartScience @UCLCBER we looked at the genetic structuring of V. vulgaris at multiple geographic scales using Citizen science samples

@FerneKotlyar @CSEE_SCEE I love it! You should bring red string to "connect the dots" when presenting. It also sounds like a really intriguing project :)

I got a cute card from 2 students today 😊

[Monika Yordanova @Entomony]

What an amazing couple of days #StudentForum23 @RoyEntSoc so many great talks and posters, and such fun entomo-themed activities! It was a true pleasure being able to join and present! #foraging #landscape

[Prof Seirian Sumner @WaspWoman]

Calling all #Ento students! @RoyEntSoc #studentforum23 is a 2-day annual conference for #undergrad #postgrad #PhD students (& a few oldies like me!) working in entomology. It’s the BEST conference - inclusive, inspiring, fun, energising! Join @RoyEntSoc & sign up for next yr now!

[Royal Entomological Society @RoyEntSoc]

Monika Yordanova at #StudentForum23 sharing her #research on #bee #pathogens across the #foraging #landscape, a fascinating talk Monika! 🐝
