🎙️ NEW PODCAST

Until recently, there was no scientifically proven guide to help growers monitor the impacts of commonly used insecticides on beneficial insects. Rosie Knapp from @cesaraustralia explains the new resource for growers.

Research Scientist @rosieknapp Dr Rosie Knapp is researching the effects of insecticides on beneficials. Her subject is the syrphid/hoverfly, a predator of aphids. Research Scientist, @Samanth97963033 Dr Samantha Ward captured this hoverfly larva footage doing what it does best!

@IUSSI_NWES Thanks!

@joel00311465 @LNER See additional context I've given to original tweets. It remains unclear to me how the announcement was intended, but I still thought it was important to flag it and request clarification @LNER #BLMLondon

[Dr Rosie Knapp @rosieknapp]

@joel00311465 @LNER If that is what was meant then I'd be in full support - but the statement was ambiguous, I got the impression the concern for lives was referring to covid transmission at protests rather than black lives lost historically as a result of oppression. #BLMUK

[Dr Rosie Knapp @rosieknapp]

@LNER Thank you for your reply - I will be interested to hear the explanation behind these comments after you have followed up. But I'd also like to add that "political neutrality" is not justification for failing to condemn racism, depending on the intention behind the announcement.

[Dr Rosie Knapp @rosieknapp]

@joel00311465 @LNER It isn't clear to me how this announcement was intended - it came across to me as condemning those travelling to blm protests in London, but it could also be interpreted as anti-racist, hence asking for clarification.

Question of the day: 1. what is you pet’s name? but, 2. what do you actually call them?

Congratulations @JensVanEeckhove on submitting his PhD! Awesome work under difficult circumstances! It was great to celebrate and have a drink virtually with you and @rosieknapp @tom_dally89 Kane Yoon and James Rouse 🎉🐝

[Dr Rosie Knapp @rosieknapp]

@e_j_duncan I think as long as we make sure theres a litter tray in the viva we should be all set?

WFH question: if Charlie (the cat) comes to enough of my skype meetings, does he get an honorary PhD?

I almost put a knife in to represent dissections but then decided it looked a bit too morbid.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

We rightly lament environmental destruction elsewhere, yet we do almost nothing to restore our own lost ecosystems. The hygrothermic maps suggest that the natural vegetation type here is temperate rainforest. But centuries of degradation have created a wet desert.
