Excellent undergraduate opportunity via the RSB sponsored by Defra for this summer! Come join team flea beetle for 10 weeks to work on larval feeding behaviour and transcriptomics. my.rsb.org.uk/services.php...

Ending the year on a high point. 3 new PhDs made - they have all been amazing students and I am so proud! Gurpinder even managed to release his lovely story about the effect of cold on SOC1 and gene regulatory networks :) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Friday flea beetle husbandry :) It’s been a busy week with a conference, time course experiments and finally mucking in with the team to sort the colonies :)

Great to see this work out in press and the data released for access. A great collaboration from the Brassica BRAVO team @johninnescentre.bsky.social and @rothamsted.bsky.social and JIC informatics. Well done Hugh, Laura and team! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Shadow of the enemy for @samtmugford.bsky.social So many aphids on my weeping silver birch right now!

When you receive a suitable #brassica based bag. We have decided t-shirts may be required 😂

Amazing to see PTI and ETI suppression taking place from same Aphid. I'm imagining the evolutionary arms race that led to this 😍 Congrats to Team Hogenhout. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
