@RHarrabin @Buzz_dont_tweet @RSPBNews Mid Wales is fairly good for insects. Loads of bumblebees, some butterflies and our honeybees in our garden and I’ve also noticed lots of bumblebees in the uplands too. If I sit in the grass in the uplands there are plenty of insects to observe in a short period of time.

@love_kitkat Yeaaaaaahhh you did!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[Cat Joniver @TwentyMoreFish]

@love_kitkat Good luck! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@MichelleEliass1 I used an app called 'Calm' - not for the guided meditations etc but for background music. Basically all of the 'for work' playlists put me in a state of focus. No idea how it worked - maybe like creating a white noise so my brain could focus? Good luck!

@love_kitkat No problem, DM me your email and I’ll send some across. PhD holding you back because you’re overqualified for the jobs you’re applying for? Go with what you think is fun, we all need to be happy in life! ☀️ 👩🏻‍🔬

@love_kitkat Aaand I just saw your top hashtag. I’m afraid I have no expertise in that but happy to help you and work through it if you need it?

[Cat Joniver @TwentyMoreFish]

@love_kitkat 🧵 it takes much longer and I generally go through their job spec and write a short statement on each point, sometimes using STAR, sometimes not. I did loads of training on applying for jobs in 2016 - happy to send you examples or meet you in Christmas hols to run through it?

[Cat Joniver @TwentyMoreFish]

@love_kitkat Hey Katie, it depends! If I’ve filled in application form I generally keep the cover letter short and sweet with the main reason I would be suitable for the job (no more than a paragraph). If it’s a CV and cover letter type thing then it takes longer… ���

New report out!🥳Review of seaweed aquaculture in England and Wales, free to download https://t.co/Yb6Ry6CkxE Thanks @NaturalEngland & co-authors 🌊🌱

@dictioca That’s right, Ulva is the predominant genus reported in peer reviewed journals. I guess it’s unlikely that there’s a lot of other events going unreported, but it’s possible 🤷🏼‍♀️. Full details here: https://t.co/ogZ06fgSJw

I have realised I now know 2 groups of people:

The forehead acquaintances - who become strangers the minute their chin and nose are exposed!

The Full-facial acquaintances who develop an unrecognisable disguise the moment they put their mask on!

[Cat Joniver @TwentyMoreFish]

@nora_mare @bps_algae Great talk Nora, very cool research!

[Elisa Capuzzo @dictioca]

Ulva is the main genus responsible for macroalgae bloom events globally. Brilliant talk by @TwentyMoreFish on interactions between macroalgae density / abundance (mapped by drone) and birds behaviour in Milford Haven #BPS2022

[Cat Joniver @TwentyMoreFish]

@KMFBrandt Thanks Kasper 😀

[Kasper Brandt @KMFBrandt]

Is bird the word? It is when it comes to macroalgal blooms according to findings by @TwentyMoreFish! She's been flying drones in Pembrokeshire to see if birds like hanging out on top of algae. #BPS2022
