This Voices of Belonging episode sees host Felicity Rush speak to @nashalselection.bsky.social on ensuring that university enables students to feel included in teaching & research spaces. #Inclusion #Belonging #Neurodiversity #NeuroInclusive #Identity open.spotify.com/episode/1kgj...

Great to talk to Felicity Rush for the ConnectEd Podcast. We talked about neuroinclusion in research and teaching. The series has many inspiring tales from the world of student belonging, I would recommend you check them out. Thanks for the opportunity @kellyedmunds.bsky.social !

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

🚨🚨🚨 New Research Alert 🚨🚨🚨 bit.ly/4i1dOp2 Pan traps reveal #insect responses to #heatwaves, showing the importance of structure in the landscape It's been a real priviledge to work with Josh. His undergrad dissertation is out in @royentsoc.bsky.social Ecological Entomology. #climate #drought #ento

Just what you need to start off the new FIT Count season! Find out about the counts with Dr Miranda Bane from PoMS, and learn about pollinator plants with @Buzz_dont_tweet at this webinar on 1 April

You can't get more #spring than this emerald prince of March: Gymnocheta viridis. Earlham Cemetery, Norwich. #diptera #tachinid #nature #ukwildlife @dipteristsforum.bsky.social

The new FIT Count season is nearly here 🎉🎆👏 From 1st April onwards, when weather is good, enjoy spending 10 minutes counting the insects that visit flowers - wherever you can find flowers, and as often as you wish, to help monitor #pollinators. Full details on our website ukpoms.org.uk/fit-counts

This is my fav fossil of all time

Really excited to say that my lab's paper on color transitions in Mimulus sect. Erythranthe is out! We found that some traits demonstrate evolutionary convergence in phenotype & genotype, while others are divergent, & that - as Bob Vickery found - bees prefer yellow! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I FINALLY FOUND A CHEILOSIA GROSSA 🎆🎆🎆 #hoverfly #pollinator #nature #ukwildlife @dipteristsforum.bsky.social

Campanulinid Hydroid Opercularella lacerata, from Levington Marina, Suffolk. Global distribution but likely under recorded. #seasearch #hydrozoa #marine #ukwildlife #microscopy

Beautiful fine red seaweed from Levington Marina survey over the weekend. Pterothamnion plumula. #ukwildlife #algae #seaweed #SeaSearch @bps-algae.bsky.social

📢 Abstract submission deadline is today 🦋 Share your research with your peers at the Student Forum. All #InsectScience abstract submissions welcome. Submit your abstracts by 17:00 (GMT), 7 Feb 🔽 https://buff.ly/4b0ORbz #SF25 @uniofreading.bsky.social

We are excited to announce our new seminar series highlighting research on population biology and theoretical ecology from academics and post-grads based in the Asia-Pacific. We have a great line up of speakers for the next few months. Stay tuned for more info!

Hairy-footed flower bees (Anthophora plumipes) are out! Saw males and females today on campus. #ukwildlife #bee #pollinator #uea

Green furrow bee (Lasioglossum morio) is the first solitary bee I've seen this year. Sun is good 😊 #ThisIsUEA #bee #pollinator #spring

First #hoverfly of 2025! Eristalis tenax in Itchenor, Sussex

We stand with John Allaway in exposing NCC’s failures on the NWL project. Flawed surveys, negligence, and deceit have destroyed trust. We demand Cllr. Mason Billig resign immediately. #StopWensumLink #Accountability #EnvironmentalProtection

Do you use Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) genomes for your work or grant applications? If so, can you please fill out this form? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... We are gathering info on how DToL genomes are used. It will help us raise money to continue producing publicly available high-quality genomes.

globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]

Delighted to see our new paper out, led by PhD student Asia Hoile. We explored new genes that emerged during the early evolution of Lepidoptera 🦋 Many cool insights which we think open up new questions to explore. Get in touch if you have thoughts/want to discuss more! 🔗: tinyurl.com/48rx72es

Very much enjoying the new gardens @nhm-london.bsky.social the range of geological samples is great! Love me a tree fren too.

Excited to share the first publication from my PhD!! We identify premature termination codons specific to the cheetah in genes associated with male fertility and immunity 🐆🧬 @earlhaminst.bsky.social @whaerty.bsky.social academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...
