Thank you so much to @NidaKalyal and the team @KCLneurosurgery for saving my brother's life. We are so grateful to you all, and he is now continuing his recovery at home. ❤️

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

It is no coincidence that bats & newts are receiving flack for supposedly stopping infrastructure, house building & other development. These are some of the only wildlife which has substantive protections, both on the creatures themselves & their habitat. Most other parts of Nature have often worthless procedural protections that can be overridden with the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen, so that we don’t even usually register their loss. It is usually felt as a mere absence of the vitality, diversity & amount of Nature that people would once have taken for granted, if it is registered at all.

It is more than possible to build the housing & infrastructure that Britain needs whilst also protecting & restoring the Nature which also calls these islands home. However, to do so will take thoughtfulness, imagination & effort, qualities which seem in short supply from a government seemingly determined to whack up buildings & lay down concrete without considering the effect on the already damaged & denuded natural world in Britain.

@JoopHoop this looks very useful!

[Emmanuel Tsekleves @PhDtoProf]

PhDs, do you ever wish you could see inside an examiner's mind?

I have been a PhD examiner for 15+ years and have collated all the key questions colleagues of mine ask in PhD Vivas in this cheat seeht.

🎁 This is my present to you.

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

Gone forever :(

[Lesley_EC @lezzylizzyc]

I'm already excited!

[International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ) @ISAZOfficial]

We're so excited to announce that #ISAZ2024 will be hosted by @Hartpury University in Gloucestershire, UK, June 27-30th, 2024.

Stay tuned for more details!

@DogbitePhD Devastating. 😩

[Dr Elaine Cox 🍃 💚 🍃🌽🥬🐦‍⬛🐌🇬🇧 @ElaineCox11]

How sad on this October day
To see our hedges shorn away
Small creatures would've liked to eat
The hawthorn berries, rose hips sweet,
Blackberries, nuts and sloes,
But through the blades the banquet goes.
Won’t somebody heed our words
And leave the berries for the birds

This is exactly why teachers and lecturers deserve the upmost respect from the government. So proud of my fellow @StirUni graduate @G_Armstrong21.

Sometimes all you need is someone to believe in you.

#StreetGangs is available to watch now on @BBCiPlayer https://t.co/1Q6XEnX7Uh

[Lesley_EC @lezzylizzyc]

@_RHawkins Wow, I'm so envious! Fantastic photos.

[Scottish SPCA 🐾 @ScottishSPCA]

We sympathise with anyone who has been involved in a dog attack.

We support measures to improve public safety but banning XL bullies will not do this @RishiSunak.

Irresponsible dog breeding & ownership need to be tackled.

#Whales

This is what Iceland does to a mother and baby.

Scurrying to hide the unborn calf.
They knew how sickening this looked.

Fear, agonizing pain & brutal death for 7 magnificent fin whales in just one week.

The world is watching these atrocities, and we won’t forget.

[Lesley_EC @lezzylizzyc]

@JoopHoop @CarriWestgarth @JT_EpiVet Brilliant article.

[Lesley_EC @lezzylizzyc]

Brilliant documentary last night. I can't wait to hear more about @JoopHoop's research as there is clearly an association between population characteristics amd dog bites.

[Tonight @ITVTonight]

Are dangerous dogs too easy to buy? And is this contributing to the number of dog bites in the UK?

#ITVTonight speaks to Dr John Tulloch from @LivUni, find out more in "Dangerous Dogs: What's The Truth?" on ITV1 at 8:30pm #ITVTonight

[Lesley_EC @lezzylizzyc]

@JamieArathoon @YSJGeography Fantastic news, Jamie!! You'll be an asset, I'm sure. 😊

[Nick Oldridge @Nick_Oldridge]

If you receive the news that dramatic spikes in ocean temperatures aren’t much of a concern, maybe even pleasant for swimming in, then it’s time to think again…

Please RT! I'm looking to get short statements from queer marine scientists & biologists (& related fields) about their experiences being queer in their fields. Any level of experience or career is okay, anonymous statements are possible. DM me here on Twitter or email me!

[Lesley_EC @lezzylizzyc]

@DrTOMontgomery I was relieved the BBC documentary #WhySharksAttack described scientific evidence as to why humans became prey for these beautiful animals.

[Lesley_EC @lezzylizzyc]

Really looking forward to presenting my research at this conference in September.
