A bit of 'shroom' hunting between bouts of eye surgery and found some real beauties! Perfect weather for it.

Kids sat chatting at breakfast about GMOs. Little one says "Yeah because if you put the gene from a shark and put it into a rabbit, then the rabbit will eat a lot of fish!". 😀

@ZarahPattison Yep just one queen. Murder hornet is more commonly used to describe Vespa mandarinia which thankfully has not arrived here yet....

@SheffieldHoney I do feed autumn syrup but also add candy below the insulation. I find it a useful early warning for the bees moving up. I leave it in the bag with a flap open at the bottom. You can put it above the cluster & watch them nibble away. Most colonies don't touch it but some do.

@PhDfriendSana For me it is important to teach personal incredulity and advocacy in science as an intergral part of the research process. Comparing the science presented in a paper with the opinions expressed via the science media center can be useful.

@irfanh01 @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice @PhD_Genie Difficult to strike a balance but if you feel both sides are unhappy then maybe you have already found the perfect balance! Have confidence in what your experience brings to your PhD. You have knowledge & good judgement that brings an efficiency to your PhD. Trust yourself!

Much needed relaxing festive period. Very happy with a whisky glass from my 10 yr old bought with his own pocket money 😍. Best wishes to everyone.

[Giles Budge @GilesBudge]

This is why it is brilliant to be a small part of this wonderful @ModEviPol. 2023 is going to be a corker!

‘Tis the season with @ModEviPol research group @SciencesNCL at @UniofNewcastle - thank-you for a great year!! Biggest thanks to enthusiastic researchers (@benwrowland and co-conspirators) for the (subject appropriate) snowflake surprises on office doors! Happy Christmas!!!

[Giles Budge @GilesBudge]

@VivekNityananda Great news well deserved!

[Giles Budge @GilesBudge]

Should read @thearueco! 🙄Although I'm sure @thea is also brilliant!

[Giles Budge @GilesBudge]

Off to Vancouver with the brilliant @thea and @HolliePufal to present @SciencesNCL work on European foulbrood at the @EntsocAmerica annual meeting.

[Giles Budge @GilesBudge]
