Who will you choose?

[Dr Merryl Gelling @SpiresEcology]

Ooooh, this would be amazing! Who's interested in a fully funded PhD on invasive American mink? @Mammal_Society @MammSocStudents

@hihinews Kiwi jam, kiwi chutney, pickled kiwi, kiwi gin....

These roles and the organisations thinking they're acceptable need to be called out @_BTO well done @WoodEcology Conservation is full of highly skilled roles, which should have salaries to match!

[Dr. Tom Ovenden @WoodEcology]

Can someone @_BTO please explain the rational behind the current advertised role for a Research Ecologist requiring a PhD or equivalent as essential critera but a salary of only £23,490. On face value, this appears to be a serious undervaluing of expertise, would you not agree?

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

A very bland and unsatisfying 'business as usual' response from govt to the 37,000 signatures asking for a ban on urban pesticides. My response is attached. When will they realize we are in a biodiversity crisis?
More signatures would help!
