One of the coolest things about my job as Curator of non-insect arthropods at @Cambridge_Uni
@ZoologyMuseum is to look after Charles Darwin's barnacle slides from his 'Monograph of the Cirripedia' (1851–1854)🔬🦐. Happy birthday #CharlesDarwin 🎉🎂 #DarwinDay (📷 @nautilusnat)

Well done, boss!👊

[Jack Ashby @JackDAshby]

An excellent day of #CollectionsBasedResearch with @ThatItchyGirl, as she searched our #thylacine skins at @ZoologyMuseum for fleas and their eggs. There's so much to learn from museum collections about the lives of these extinct #marsupials, and the ecosystems they once formed.

[Jack Ashby @JackDAshby]

This is heinous. The BBC is censoring not only itself, but David Attenborough, by pulling an episode of its new flagship series on British wildlife as it focuses on UK wildlife declines... in case it upsets right-wing politicans and media. #WildIsles

One of our giant grasshoppers (Tropidacris cristata) died, and here’s the culprit - a nematomorph, or ‘horsehair worm’. It had taken over almost the entire internal space. Fascinating, and also rather grim.

My colleagues in NHM conservation and I are constantly trying to improve storage e.g. a nest and eggs of White's thrush collected in Subashiri, Japan in June 1928. Now placed on a Tyvek cushion filled with ethafoam crystals for support within a bespoke, handmade acid-free box.

"Can I have 5 minutes of your time?" = "Can I have 28 minutes of your time?"

It take 23 minutes to regain your focus after being interrupted from a skilled task.

Be mindful of your attention and other's.
