Any caterpillar experts know which butterfly or moth this is for? Seen today in South East England.

@jimi3001 @BBCSpringwatch Thanks! (And I did thank you 😊 hope the missus had a good birthday too)

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

@ZJAyres Same! When people ask me why I left active science my answer is that I found other people's research much more interesting than mine and that's why I work in science comms now.

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

@jimi3001 Oh dear - did you end up going at all or did you cancel the whole trip?

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

I literally never need to use the train and haven't been to London in over 2 years. We had a special birthday plan for me in London which is very needed after an incredibly traumatic year. The date we were going was 1st October #trainstrike 😭😭😭

Generally a strange year to be British with the national pride of the jubilee, Eurovision success and Queen's death and funeral in sharp contrast to the huge mess at the heart of government, the biting impact of Brexit and the looming cost of living crisis.

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

Such a strange day watching as much of the solemn funeral as possible before caving into the toddler's demands to watch Peppa Pig, then a weirdly life-affirming trip to the park full of happy children enjoying an unexpected day off in the autumn sun with their parents

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

I have absolutely no love for Liz Truss but am grateful to the small mercy of having her need to take on all the duties related to the Queen's death. Seeing Boris attempt to have any statesmanlike dignity throughout all this would have just been a hurricane of cringe.

Football’s coming home!! It’s coming home!! IT’s coming!!

Women, 60yrs later: … FFS I’ll get it myself.

@nectarsleepuk Ok so I still haven't heard anything. This really isn't good enough.

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

Well this is upsetting. Unwrapped our brand new mattress from @nectarsleepuk and there are suspicious brown stains all over it 🤢

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

@nectarsleepuk I emailed you at 12 pm but haven't received a reply yet. This really is something I'd like sorting asap for obvious reasons...

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Well there’s a thought...

This is such a cool and important study, trying to understand more about #pregnancy symptoms on an individual level. Love how the study uses a #codesign approach with participants

[Cambridge Cognition @CANTABconnect]

We are delighted to be a partner on the @4youandme_org BUMP study, which will use #wearables and #digitalhealth data, including our #cognitiveasessments, to track the pregnancies of 1,000 people.

@katebevan This is the work equivalent of those articles about how a 25 year old bought their house and rambles on about no takeaway coffee and then 3/4 of the way down says "and my parents gave me £50k"

[Louise Walker @louisepwalker]

This piece seems very odd to me. This dad is complaining about how Bluey's Dad sets unreasonable expectations of parenting. Try being a woman and having to hold yourself up to 'perfect' mums in every medium, not just on one show about a cartoon dog.

So the Tories won't vote out this pathetic joke of a PM. A general election cannot come soon enough.

[Catherine Mayer @catherine_mayer]

211. Every one of them voting for law breaking, corruption and cronyism.

As a huge fan of The National, there are 2 enjoyable things about this list: 1) everyone is rightly mad about Bloodbuzz Ohio and 2) It's reminded me how spectacular their songs are
