First PhD Paper!! We show the extent of phenotypic plasticity in a primitively eusocial bee. Featuring the homemade pooter and beautiful bee below.

The paper is open access 👉 https://t.co/pWdhY1OPPY

Thank you to @KneppWilding for letting us study at their amazing site!

Is antibiotic-resistant bacteria in 🇬🇧rivers a threat to public health? 💧🦠💊

Over the summer at the @UniofExeter we have been investigating whether swimming in #sewage polluted rivers and lakes across the UK 🇬🇧 increases the risk of carrying antibiotic-resistant E. coli in our guts.

But non-swimmers can carry these bacteria, too.

If you do not swim in rivers, lakes or the sea, take part in the #PooSticksStudy and help us understand how widespread these bugs are among the British public and if swimming in rivers is linked to changes in the likelihood of harbouring these types of bugs.

Please share! The more people take part, the more confidence we can have in our findings.

Due to the high visa cost related to my future PhD, I feel a bit embarrassed to let you know that I've started a gofundme if anyone, no matter sum, would feel comfortable contributing. Would mean the world.💕

Frogs begin spawning very early here in southwest England but I’m starting to see posts from further afield on social media now too! Must mean it’s time to repost “Ponds & People- answering commonly asked questions” 🐸

My job as a research fellow at one of the world's best universities (a requirement of which is a doctorate) pays less than this and so, on this definition, I am an unskilled worker who wouldn't be allowed into the country. This system is utterly ridiculous..

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough.
This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

[Josh Arbon @JoshJArbon]

Can't sleep because you're wondering what feeding jackdaws strangely coloured cheese tell us about learning and culture? Well wonder no more. Delighted to share some of my PhD work with the wonderful @CornishJackdaws
