De energietransitie is nodig voor een milieuvriendelijker bestaan, maar kan in conflict komen met vleermuizen en hun levenscyclus. Expertise van en samenwerking met vleermuisdeskundigen is dus nodig om de vleermuissoorten te beschermen.

Last weekend I attended the bat catching course in South Limburg. The course teaches a standardised and ethical way to research and catch bats. Despite the bad weather, we managed to go through with fieldwork and it was a great success 🙌 #batresearch #vleermuizenvangkamp2022

Lichens have played a huge role in keeping my spirits up during this pandemic. They have helped bring joy to my heart, reignited my curiosity, and have amazed me with their beauty again and again.

It’s been one year since I finished this lichen piece in their honour!

I began illustrating the beetles & bugs of Britain in lockdown, having no idea of the extraordinary diversity of species living right under my nose, or how vital they. This project has been totally absorbing, fascinating & inspiring and is only just getting going! #beetle #bug

@arualentina @batstothefuture @adria_baucells @COSTprogramme Oh wow! I'll consider going 🦇

Ten years ago today I started trials to test whether #dogs are better than people for finding dead #bats at wind farms. Short version: they are and by a lot. Have since found literally 100s of casualties. https://t.co/sFTNiiwdRm https://t.co/v6yGVkIV7W

Here is a cheat sheet I just finished on the most common functions of R (for ecology). ↓

i.e., 80% of everything you will ever do in R (on TWO pages) 🙌🌱
