I recently made a short film about our experiences on the @EBE_MSc African field trip. Go check it out to find out just what it's like studying behavioural ecology in Kenya! youtube.com/watch?v=KNFZ8s…

We’ve all got the blues since arriving back in the UK from our Kenya field trip 🇰🇪 Here’s a beautiful sunrise from one of our last days in Samburu! More pics to come 👀

Nearly two weeks in Kenya and finally got the big five! Leopard, African Elephant, Lion, and Buffalo (plus a very frail looking black rhino) #kenyafieldtrip2022

This is an AI’s artistic interpretation of our course name, ‘Evolutionary and Behavioural Ecology’ - pretty cool right?

@MarineEnvManMSc @ConSciMSc @ConBiodivMSc @MarineVertsMSc Alrighty hope you enjoy the EBE contribution to #PunFriday!

Also, not to disappoint @ConSciMSc @ConBiodivMSc @EBE_MSc @MarineVertsMSc with a pun-less Friday... What do David Attenborough and a map key have in common? They're both legends! #punFriday

Fully funded PhD on the dynamics of great bowerbird courtship displays with me, @CornishJackdaws & @DrMartinJohnHow. Based in Cornwall with fieldwork in Australia, deadline 10th Jan 2022. Further info: bit.ly/3DUQoP2

@isla_botting’s artistic skills coming in handy once again!

A Star Wars themed practical on Research Design is the best way to end a week! Thank you for today @b_longdon @NeeltjeBoogert and @kuijperbram . @EBE_MSc @UniExeCornwall

Great session today learning about next generation sequencing and preparing a library for nanopore sequencing! @nanopore

Sometimes we may wish to check all relevant assumptions for a linear regression model in one go. The {gg_diagnose} function from {lindia} 📦 does this for lm objects and provides helpful {ggplot2} visualizations ✅📊 rdrr.io/cran/lindia/ma… #rstats #DataScience

This week we explored life histories and senescence! In today’s discussion session, we delved into the hot topics of individual variation in senescence 🦌 🦡 and caste-related senescence in eusocial insects! 🐜
