Very proud to have been awarded 'Top Performing Student' in the MRes Biosystematics cohort, but also incredibly proud of @ClemPrieul who achieved this award alongside me. It's a special feeling being able to say that all our hard work together was worth it. Thanks @NHM_London

@SajadAlipour98 Anything that isn't a honeybee foraging on those?

I'm proud to present you my newly accepted article: "Phylogenetic tree statistics: A systematic overview using the new R package ‘treestats’", which you can find here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ympe… What is it about? Want to know more? 1/20

Public Statement: Far-Right Potential Riots in Reading readingmuslim.uk/news/2024/08/0…

Huge visible display of resistance by Stand Up to Racism in Plymouth tonight, to counter a comparatively much smaller far right crowd. Check out @AntiRacismDay if you want to go to any of their planned anti racism demos over the next week.

My statement on the protests in Plymouth city centre this evening.

@Vikki56 Not seen any here yet! You're ahead of me 😅

Got very excited to see this comma feeding on bramble on my transect today. Only my second of the year so far...

Some May wildlife highlights from France's forest national park! Stag beetle, Swallowtail, Sabot de Vènus orchid and a big old sawfly. About 3 weeks into data collection and 2 of those weeks have been rainy. Perks of fieldwork... @AssoPollinis @UniRdg_PhD @UK_CEH

Please cite all R resources in your papers. A lot of effort has been paid to develop them. This package make it easy to do so.

Had a blast recording this podcast with Vikki and Suzanna! Tune in for insights into global pollinator diversity, arctic bumblebees and incredible lepidopteran research! 🦋🐝 @AssoPollinis @UK_CEH @UniRdg_PhD

@BeeBabette I put a white box behind the whole slide, save entire slide as an image, import to Inkscape and then export as a high quality JPG/PNG!

#ScienceTwitter (or anyone) - is there way to save a powerpoint slide as a figure? If you just save in #powerpoint to quality is shite. I always save as pdf then convert pdf to png but if there's an easier way pls let me know!

A great first day of surveying pollinator networks in the Parc National de Forêts, blessed too by a Swallowtail mid-transect. It didn't visit a flower, but it did pose for maybe the most symmetrical photo ever? @AssoPollinis @UK_CEH @UniRdg_PhD

I'm looking for a few more moth trappers who would be happy to help collect parasitoid wasps 🐝🦋 as part of my PhD (equipment and postage provided). Especially looking for people in the unfilled vice-counties and Northern Ireland! @BroadGavin @WaspWoman Message me for more info

Interested in doing postdoctoral work in my lab in London, working on insect behaviour, learning and cognition? Have a look at this fellowship opportunity, and get in touch: hfsp.org/hfsp-news/2024…

First day of PhD fieldwork in France's Parc National de Forêts 🐝 Searching for sites in protected areas and finding lots of sleepy bees following last night's frost @AssoPollinis @UniofReading @UK_CEH

Thank you @Eucera for a great day of pollinator ecology and sampling training at the Leckford Estate. Just in time for field season :)

oh this is brilliant. so simple, so succinct. shows how instantly this culture war bullshit crumbles when you apply a crumb of common sense, reason & basic perspective.

I am very happy to share our new publications on Pollen diet diversity across bee lineages published on Journal of Insect Science academic.oup.com/jinsectscience…
