Dr Beth Nicholls- find me on Bluesky!

🥕We are launching a brand new #UrbanFood #CitizenScience project in #BrightonandHove! 🍓Bitesize Biodiversity needs grower's help to understand more about crop diversity+the experiences of growers in the city 🥦Want to learn more? Email/txt @leah_salm to register your interest

A really exciting day for @leah_salm #BitesizeBiodiversity project, its the Plot Stories workshop. All the photos are in and it's time to meet the fantastic participants and discuss! #UrbanFood #FoodBiodiversity #PhotoVoice @UKFS_CDT @SussexUni @IDS_UK @NRInstitute

💙 Check out this incredible Cobalt Crust (Terana coerulea) fungus my Dad found on Kinver Edge, West Mids, UK 💙 #Fungi #Fungus #Autumn #UKFungusDay #SOTWPF

Congratulations to @AstroSeb and @SussexUni @PhysicsAtSussex for the work we’re leading being selected by @NASA as one of two proposals being considered for $1 billion astrophysics mission. ukri.org/news/nasa-sele…

Looking forward to a mini lab outing to this event tonight! Will be nice to take a break from bees (specifically, writing grants about bees...)

Wondered how pollinator learning affects pollination for 🌺🌻🌼? More complex 🌺🌻🌼 require ⬆️learning, and learning ⬆️pollen collection, but has NO effect on pollen transfer! New @BehavEcol pub from #RussellLab grad & undergrads; collab w/ @dr_tialynn academic.oup.com/beheco/advance…

✨D-27 until our online conference !✨ We have finalized the talks for the conference! 💚💚💚 Thank you to all that have submitted their fantastic abstracts. Here is the preliminary schedule 🙂 Check it out! 🤗 #ABL2024

🌳 New paper alert! 🌳 🌻 Was so fun to be part of @QUENCHNetwork+talk big ideas+ project design with academics+practitioners from across disciplines. Learnt so much through this process+would love to do something similar again 🦋 Read about those ideas 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@GautamKShubham @DrStrangeAnt @OISTedu @Dorylophile @Jules_For_Fools @Pangapaco @EvanEconomo @rossoni_sergio

Pleased to share the first paper from my PhD at @OISTedu, showing that #eusociality did not drive the expansions in the number of odorant receptors in #Hymenoptera! 🐜🐝 Big thanks to all my co-authors! @Dorylophile @Jules_For_Fools @Pangapaco Shûhei Yamamoto & @EvanEconomo

@JWentomologist @StevenFalk1 @rossoni_sergio how cool!

@BrainsExplained @neuroethology @rossoni_sergio

Excited to share our new preprint on connectomic analysis of fly taste circuits! We used the connectome to identify neurons and brain regions involved in taste processing, compare properties of neurons that process different tastes, and more! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@rossoni_sergio @ArceoGomezG @lied_carneiro @JEcology @rossi_natacha Ooh one for journal club maybe!

@ArceoGomezG @lied_carneiro @JEcology @BethBees @rossi_natacha

Our paper on #pollen co‐transport #networks led by @lied_carneiro is finally out! We are very excited to see this published in @JEcology Wiley Online Library besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Really looking forward to our @ice2024kyoto_jp symposium on #pesticide exposure & effects for insect #pollinators tomorrow. If you're in Kyoto @ #ICE2024 come along & hear @angelisanchez9 @jamesdcrall @simo_tosi @WilliamsBeeLab & many other fantastic speakers from 09:45 in Rm G

🌍 Introducing the Trainer’s Guide for #CommunityEngagement—a comprehensive tool designed by @ethicalconserv to empower conservation practitioners to work effectively with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities for biodiversity conservation. #Conservation Thread: 1/20

Around the ICE venue, 6 species of stag beetles can be seen. It's not the best season right now, but if you have the chance, try looking for them! #ICE2024kyoto #ICE2024
