🔴New #trumpetfish content!🔴 This species is colour #polymorphic so we dove (pun intended) into how the relative abundance and saliency of each morph influences the #behaviour of their prey. Find out more via the link below! 🎺🐠 🔗 tinyurl.com/39vn5skp @BehavEcol

And a new chapter begins! I'm thrilled to have started a PDRA role at @OxfordBiology with @rjpheathcote. Stay tuned for more fish content 🐟

The sun did briefly shine in Cambridge today on my last day in @CamZoology. It has been a monumental 5.5 years here, both professionally and personally. Words can't express my gratitude towards both the Department and the @MarineBehavEcol group for making me feel so at home 🐠

As always, this project couldn't have been completed without my co-authors, collaborators and funders 🤝 #JeroenSchneider @Chris_Drerup @SandraWinters22 @Dwarf_Mongoose @MarineBehavEcol #CARMABI #Whitten

🚨Our new paper is out now in Biological Invasions. Using a #citizenscience approach we find correlations between #invasive #lionfish abundance, the length of time invaded, and human #hunting pressure in the western #Atlantic and #Caribbean Sea. doi.org/10.1007/s10530…

WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!

At the end of August I finished my position as research assistant for the @MarineBehavEcol group at @Cambridge_Uni. From MPhil student to research assistant it has been an amazing 3 years working with @JHerbertread and the lab group. Thank you for EVERYTHING! 🐠🐟🐡

@14Katie41 @christs_college @MarineBehavEcol @CamZoology @rjpheathcote @OxfordBiology I am super sad to see you go, but in equal measures I'm super excited to see your next chapter unfold! Good luck, Dunkers 🐠🐟🐡

Well, 4 yrs as a JRF @christs_college, @MarineBehavEcol & @CamZoology are over... it's been an absolute blast! Huge thanks to all the brilliant & friendly people I've met along the way! But, excited to now start my next adventure as a postdoc with @rjpheathcote @OxfordBiology!

@Soccermatics (I begrudgingly wish him good luck)

@Soccermatics As a Leeds fan, David, I can certainly vouch for his (lack of) finishing. However, his creativity and link-up is brilliant, and captured nicely by the analysis 👌🏻

Here is what Twelve GPT makes of Brighton's signing Georginio Rutter. I wouldn't share its pessimism about finishing, but interesting analysis.

Who'd have thought my shorts, my Mum, and I would help @IvoGraham christen the Piece tonight. Thanks for a cracking (and surreal) night #CambridgeComedyGarden

Crushed it! A huge well done, Chris🤝

It is with deep sadness that the club can confirm that former player Rob Burrow CBE has passed away, aged 41. More here therhinos.co.uk/article/20426/…

Lizard Island Research Station, one of my favorite places, is hiring two (!) co-directors to take over for Anne Hoggett and Lyle Vail, two of my favorite people. Please share with anyone who would be excellent at leading LIRS onward. australian.museum/about/organisa… #bestjobever

I can think of worse places to press submit on a big application! Lucky to be back in the Caribbean with @Sam_Matchette and @Nadia_Hamilton_. So great to be back hanging out with the cleaning gobies!

⚡️Postdoc in sensory ecology!⚡️ 3 year position at @OxfordBiology on colouration in fish schools! If antipredator colour, collective behaviour, fieldwork in nice places, and fun experiments with predatory fish is your thing, get in touch! Pls RT 🐟🐟🐠🐠💥jobs.ac.uk/job/DHJ328/pos…

Back to Curaçao for another field season! @Sam_Matchette 🐟

A rousing performance of 'Fairytale of New York' was given by Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill at the funeral of Shane MacGowan in Nenagh, Co Tipperary. The performance was greeted by cheers inside and outside the church | rte.ie/b/1420857

For those who have already migrated to greener pastures (and bluer skies 👀), here's where you can find me🎺🐟
