The recipe for success of a PI ? Choosing post docs and ph.d. students smarter than you! @cimec_unitrento @ElenaLorenzi3 @MorandiRaikova @mirkuz12 @elena_eccher @Matildede_ @serenere_raus @Massimo_De_Agro @Andrea07359090 @DKobylkov @OrsolaSalv52285 @eli_4_science @SamadiHGD

@BrochJamm @MukilanSuresh Thank you so much! Love the drawing! 😁🤩

@MukilanSuresh @SamadiHGD I read the paper but didn’t know she was on twitter!! Honestly that study is iconic, I remember first hearing about it when it came out.

BEES HAVE FUN

One dream for a scientist is to discover something that changes the textbooks. Big congratulations to @SamadiHGD - her work on insect play has found its way into this new biology book! @QM_SBBS @QMUL

@VeraVasas @HanleyColorLab That's awesome @VeraVasas! 💪✨

Our camera paper reported as a Science Breakthrough by CNN! cnn.com/videos/world/2… The link to the paper: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… @HanleyColorLab

@Jovitope @cimec_unitrento @gVallortigara 🤩 Thank you!

Delighted to start my new postdoc 🐝🧠 in my home country 🇮🇹 @cimec_unitrento in @gVallortigara 's lab. ✨💪🙏

@SofiQuaglia @cimec_unitrento @gVallortigara Graziee!

@SamadiHGD @cimec_unitrento @gVallortigara Congrats!!

@gVallortigara @cimec_unitrento Grazie! 🤩

@SamadiHGD @cimec_unitrento Welcome, Samadi!

Our emotional bees, and specifically @SamadiHGD's ball rolling bees, made the cover of Nikkei Science (the Japanese version of Scientific American)

Thank you so much @SamadiHGD for visiting us these past two weeks! It was wonderful to have you here in person and for you to talk about your incredible work on bumblebee cognition through play!

Congratulations to @SamadiHGD who led a multinational team that has won the Pineapple Science Award for their work on bumblebee play (some of which you will have read about in the June BeeCraft).

@ciber_bee Thanks for the hat @nectarbuzz 🐝🤩

Our CIBER grad students and guest Samadi Galpayage @SamadiHGD at the California State Beekeeper's Association Conference!

Super honoured that our work received the Pineapple Science Award🍍from China. Immensely grateful to my team and the bees 🐝

Bumblebees play? Yes, they do, and @QM_SBBS's @SamadiHGD, @LChittka just won Pineapple Science Award for proving it! This award recognises imaginative research that aims to arouse public enthusiasm for science. qmul.ac.uk/media/news/202…

@LoukolaOlli @LChittka Thank you!🤩

@LChittka @SamadiHGD Congrats! 🙌

Happy that our team led by @SamadiHGD on play behaviour in bumblebees is recognised with the Pineapple Science Award, awarded by Zhejiang Science and Technology Museum Hangzhou, China "to honor research with great imagination and to arouse the public enthusiasm for science".

Lovely article by @caroring in the current issue of German Greenpeace Magazin about our work on bee sentience and its welfare implications @SamadiHGD @QM_SBBS

Exciting day for me - @LChittka and I have been awarded a grant of around $1m by @open_phil to look for markers of sentience in insects, and we are recruiting *TWO* postdocs. The ads are here, and please DM or email if you have questions: qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…

Thanks Christie Wilcox for the nice write-up, and thank you @SamadiHGD @gburghar & Sergio Pellis: science.org/content/articl…

Ever wondered if flies enjoy a carousel ride as much as we do? Wonder no more, it seems they do – flies play! Out now: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/7)
