Andrea Waeschenbach

Best of congratulations to @MarinaPapaiak for receiving the Abcam Research Prize for her work on soil-transmitted #helminths #diagnostics! hardingscholars.fund.cam.ac.uk/news/marina-pa…

@priapulus @thameswater Definitely not!

@BryoEvolution @thameswater Hope you weren't planning on a dive!

Thanks @thameswater for releasing this disgusting mess from Beckton Sewage Treatment Works today #EndSewagePollution #TogetherForRivers #RiverRoding

@thameswater It arrived with the incoming tide which brings water from Barking Creek where Beckton Sewage Treatment Plant discharge their supposedly treated effluent.

@BryoEvolution You've mentioned that the waste is leaking from the Beckton plant, this location you've given is showing on my mapping system as a fair distance away from the Beckton sewage treatment works. Can I ask what makes you think it's coming from the Beckton plant? - Imran

@BryoEvolution Hi Andrea, I'm sorry to hear about this issue. Could you provide the what3word location of this sewage mess please using the link below? - Imran what3words.com

It is with great pleasure we award Dr Paul Taylor The Palaeontographical Society Medal in recognition of his extraordinary long-term and continuing contributions to palaeontology in the British Isles and the wider world particularly on bryozoans and other invertebrates,

Finally out! Boring systematics on endolithic bryozoans and other ctenostomes. Big thanks to all my collaborators: @ahmedjoudahnass C. Baranyi @moostiere @Sarah_TheSea @AndySombke @faguilgen @lmanzoni @AbbyOtago @BryoEvolution @TSchwaha doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

I must share this absolutely magnificent paper on the abyssal bryozoans of the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (sadly under threat from possible deep-sea mining) by Andrei Grischenko, @DennisG21518341 and Viacheslav Melnik doi.org/10.11646/zoota…

One for the weekend: the spinose cheilostome bryozoan Celleporaria building a tube with a very prickly surface for its hermit crab symbiont. New Zealand.

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about bryozoan reproduction at this #ProcB seminar chaired by @JordiPaps @LeverhulmeTrust @heather_eGrant @drhelenljenkins @lmanzoni @AbbyOtago @JoanneSPorter @Dr_Flo_MB @DennisG21518341 cassyni.com/events/CqeE3rB…

frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Finally out. Two years ago we rediscovered Monobryozoon ambulans from its type locality, Helgoland. Read more about its morphology and phylogenetic position here. with @SH_Decker @ahmedjoudahnass and Christian Baranyi

#FossilFriday The Cincinnatian Series in the US is renowned for its superb bryozoan fauna, exemplified by this trepostome Dekayella from the collections of the NHMUK. Note the borings adding further interest.

Position open for a curator of Invertebrates (non-insects), with expertise or knowledge of #Bryozoa (required) at the Natural History Museum of London. Applications close on the 20th November 👇 uk.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=4… #JobAlert #bryozoans #taxonomy @NHM_London

Thank you @IJPara for choosing our cover for February’s issue 🤓🤩 Read more about our work on poo genome skimming to pull helminth mitogenomes in the same issue @DrCinziaCanta @stephenrdoyle @phylofacts @NHM_Science @Cambridge_Uni @CamVetSchool @sangerinstitute

#FossilFriday Just a few millimetres in size, the type specimen of Fasciculipora waltoni from the Middle Jurassic of Bath now in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. This beautiful cyclostome bryozoan species was described by Jules Haime as long ago as 1854 but remains poorly known.

This makes my heart sink…

@IoloWilliams2 @Birder_Griffon Earlier today I came across a whole stretch along a small stream in @NewhamLondon where they cut down most of the trees. Despite the rubbish and pollution from run-off, birds could be heard singing in the trees above. No longer.

Unbelievable @plymouthcc and totally unacceptable.
