@PollardKenzie Another place to look for openings is through specific societies ecological society of America etc

[Caitlin Gevers @gevers04]

@PollardKenzie This is more orientated towards a research MSc, and not a MSc with course work. If you contact potential supervisors or departments first, it can improve your chances of getting into a MSc course. It shows you are interested and ambitious.

@RomanCabanac You should have a look at the recent criticism of the Covid-19 model developed by Neil Ferguson, a model that has largely been used to justify the lockdown approach in the UK and US. https://t.co/brw56xFJHG

Studying Entomology has allowed me to travel many different provinces, engage with interesting people on field trips and learn about some beautiful insects. I've improved and expanded my skills and knowledge with help of dedicated mentors. #entomology @Fabiteam1

Ramaphosa "our most vulnerable citizens will be supported in this lockdown". Really? The RAF remains closed? R33 billion a year collected from a petrol levy allocated to the RAF to fund those disabled in MVAs, yet these survivors are ignored @PresidencyZA #day48oflockdown

[Caitlin Gevers @gevers04]

Thank you to all that made an incredible effort in making this TPCP meeting a possibility and for connecting many people across the world! FABI2020 trumps Covid-19 indeed! #TPCP2020 @Fabiteam1 @CTHB_Tree

@nicholas_zwane @APRAVlive What do you suggest the road accident victims do then? As they are the ones that ultimately suffer as do their caregivers who assist them. What do they do if they are not receiving their payments?

[Caitlin Gevers @gevers04]

Interesting global panel discussion on basic research to application: 31 years of impact at the TPCP meeting! Great presentations and research! #TPCP2020 @Fabiteam1

[Caitlin Gevers @gevers04]

The world may be locked down, but Fabians find a way. Sharing important research with the world in the first online TPCP meeting EVER! @Fabiteam1 #TPCP2020 #CTHB2020 #Covid_19

@Patroffie @singles93 @Dedza16 @jsteenhuisen The lockdown wasn't implemented to slow down and end the virus. It was implemented to ready the hospitals to be able to cope with the inevitable influx of patients. A virus cannot be eradicated.
