@drAR387 It’s beautiful! Can’t wait to go see the exhibit 🥰

This was absolutely excellent!! Thanks for organising @scottishscicomm & @HanaAyoob!!!

What's the line up this week? A thread:

Thanks for reading! This paper has been a collaborative effort between @The_RHS and researchers from @BristolUni, @cardiffuni, @EdinburghUni, @UniofReading and @NorthumbriaUni. Also check out our press release: bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/febr… (6/6)

I'm proud to be associated with the newly launched Database of Pollinator Interaction @The_DoPI, hope it proves to be a valuable free resource for scientists, conservationists, & all interested in pollinators & pollination dopi.org.uk @JeffOllerton

Hellebores are a fantastic source of early spring nectar to feed buff-tailed bumblebees and there are loads of attractive varieties to choose from @The_RHS @BrisBotanicGdn #bees #pollinators

They’re finally done! The pattern was intended to make an orange underwing but I went rogue with the colours 🧶 I’m sure there’s a moth that looks like this somewhere.... #lockdownknitting #scicrafts

Super impressed at day one of the European Bumblebee Conference, so many engaging talks - if you couldn’t make it, highly recommend going to the second session next Saturday! 🐝

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We will be putting a spotlight on women who inspire YOU today. Make sure to use #ConservationOptimism on your posts or reply to this one so that we can create an awesome thread of women scientists. #WomenInScienceDay

@hammerheadbat Being online has also removed the ability to work together with other participants who are struggling too which is something I’ve found really helpful in the past

@sara_lil_plants @Lab_Casual @AcademicChatter Fully relate to this. One tab has enabled my website hoarding to a dangerous level and now I can’t go back.....

Seriously cool stuff

@hammerheadbat I investigate why bees have favourite foods

Dressed fleas from Mexico, as seen being imaged by @flygirlNHM in #NaturalHistoryMuseum: World of Wonder last night! We are in the process of digitising the 260,000 specimens in our flea (Siphonaptera) collection. Explore them on our Data Portal: data.nhm.ac.uk/search/expert-…

@EllaHubber @GilsonINC I’ve never seen pipette injections on screen 😂 the rage is fully justified

Pipetting in TV and Movies is bad and I feel very passionately about it. Back me up @GilsonINC #science #scientist #badscience

This has made my day and the comments are amazing 😂

10/10 sci comms

@f_osis @DragScience I did just eat half a block of halloumi so am now worried I’m going to dream of syphilitic throat lumps 😂

@EllenCBaker @DragScience My mum has told me some of my research has given her bad dreams 🙃

@DragScience already epically good! @f_osis put a massive smile on my face and I learnt facts that will stay with me till I die....maybe longer
