Our marsh harrier chicks are getting big! And already got their first album cover photo down. #ornithology #fieldwork #birds

Wild patch of Wolfsbane (Monkshood) I spotted up in the Scottish Highland. What amazing flowers!

@DRobledoRuiz Yes! @nju_nature have been great 🙂

@Stefmcc2 Excellent! Are you part of the NUJ? I recently joined my union ✊🏼

Myself and several hundred other editors and production staff at Springer Nature are officially on strike as of today. We are grateful for the support we have had from academics around the world in our fight to be paid a fair wage.

@CityCorpHeath Hello, are there pre-bookings available for the swimming ponds this weekend?

We have a PhD studentship available! All about eggshells! Looking at their surface properties. Part of the NERC DTP, but a tethered studentship to Royal Holloway (so a little different to the normal London NERC DTP). #birds #ornithology Advert in link below:

Congrats @Stefmcc2 on your 4th PhD paper out in @RSocPublishing RSOS. Investigating the eggshell surface properties of avian brood parasites & hosts. Link below #OpenAccess #ornithology #birds With @MarieRAttard @Gabriel_A_Jamie @T_Dixit123 @GroupBowen @honeyguiding @RHULBioSci

It's time for ...*drumroll*... The Framing of the Shrew!

Go on, treat yourself

This must be the greatest typo ever.

Very strange sight in Finsbury park, London. A terrapin laying eggs! Think they'll hatch? I believe most of the terrapins in the UK are released pets #wildlife #turtle

NERC just sent an email out recognising that the cost of living increase means its PhD stipend isn't sufficient to live on. Their solution isn't to increase it, it's to suggest students start selling Avon and sign up to clinical trials... @ARIES_DTP @UKRI_News @NERCscience

Good morning from this amazing Jewelled Spider 🕷☀️

Torpor is an incredible strategy that continues to blow my mind🤯. Animals in torpor allow their body temperature to drop, slowing their metabolism and saving energy. In this composite thermal image of a blue-throated mountain-gem: left- asleep, right- torpor. 1/5
