@Qualtrics has such terrible customer service that I've resorted to using X again just to try to get something from them! My emails are ignored, there is nobody on the phone and the hold options just go round in circles... Do you not want to sell me your service?

Great Invasive Non-Native Species work from Felix, who was my mentor at the start of my PhD 🎉 https://t.co/S4fY0REIob

Beautiful cinematography and an important message, screening on YouTube for the rest of the month... Who knew that hamsters lived wild in Vienna?! 🐹

What do ponds have to say? I put together a short video which aims to give ponds a voice.

Great first day at the International Pond Conference with @ponds4climate and @europeanponds.

Another great @StirBES seminar from @mahtab_yaghouti highlighting the costs of current anthropogenic climate change from the point of view of deep water deoxygenation in lakes

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Lovely to catch up with the other @StirBES PhDs going into 2nd year for brunch yesterday!

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Never seen so many red squirrels as on @RSPBScotland Loch Leven's Leafy Loop trail this weekend 😍

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Great recommendation from @ZarahPattison - a relaxing podcast to unwind in the evenings and head about the importance of our natural landscapes 🏞️

[WWT @WWTworldwide]

Rivers can be PARADISE 💦🐟.

In episode 2 of the Waterlands podcast, we explore how people are drawn to rivers, how they change us and the importance of healthy waterways.

Listen to series 3 episode 2 now 🎧 https://t.co/BNqGxhFnMT

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Teaching today on a field trip around Raploch... A riverside walk is the perfect opportunity to turn a conversation about green and blue spaces with the undergrads towards the topic of invasive species 😂

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Another ambiguous headline... 😂 https://t.co/X6GjFRGYnV

Great introduction to the power of cultumonics and iEcology in identifying social aspects of biological invasions 😀

[Ana Novoa Perez @ananovoaperez]

Are you interested in studying how #human and #social dimensions influence #alienSpecies #introductions? Our new paper might help 🙂 @InvaCulture @pipek_pavel @IvanJaric @Trends_Ecol_Evo 👇

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Beautiful sunshine, but wet under foot for today's biogeography practical so the undergrad students get to witness my snazzy wellies 🐊 I love getting outside to teach in @StirBES and the speckled wood butterflies were loving the weather, too! ☀️

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

It's Scottish Women And Girls In Sport Week and the theme this year is #inclusion 🏳️‍🌈♿ I want to take this opportunity to share the trampoline routine 🥈with which I qualified for Scottish Nationals this year! #SheCanSheWill

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Great @StirBES Wednesday seminar from @GoWithTheF1ow this week on the effects of different agriculture practices and animals on soil compaction at different spatial scales 🐏🐄🐎

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

https://t.co/WqJusMcrlY fascinating to see how often mass media articles about invasive fire ants use stock images of other species in this new letter from @MarkKLWong - wondering how this compares to misrepresentations of other species?

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

I'm so glad this is getting talked about more! Events that happen in social spaces affect how comfortable victims (and their support networks) feel in ALL spaces, including shared study spaces, lecture theatres, libraries...

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

This is such a complicated question, which I have to come at with awareness of my own bias and vegan values, but I worry that there are a lot of risks to encouraging the commercialisation of invasive species in countries like the USA especially...

[Anthony Ricciardi @EcoInvasions]

This is another reason why I am dismayed by the rebranding of invasive grass/bighead/black/silver carps under the cute name "Copi" for the purpose of marketing them as seafood (https://t.co/CmGz3ZFb8S) - in addition to the risk of creating perverse incentives to cultivate them.

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

Good vibes at the first ever #StirlingPride - can't wait to see how it grows for next year!

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

'Monster plants': a new article by @ZarahPattison getting the word out about invasive species 🎉 https://t.co/1ZiUs2Fhhc

[Ruth Wright @ruthwrightINNS]

So much Himalayan balsam on the train back from Manchester to Edinburgh... 😞
