Folks, the first paper of my PhD is now officially out! 🦎🔥 (👇🏼comments) doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Very cool to see this "Research Highlight" of our recent @animalecology.bsky.social paper that tested the potential for social buffering of maternal glucocorticoids in a facultatively social lizard. Grateful for this feature by Lange & Aracena! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

🎉 Exciting milestone … my first PhD paper has been accepted in the Journal of Experimental Biology! 🥳 Not all winter warming is equal: steady, mild winters increase activity and can cause molecular damage, but short, warm spells have little effect on wall lizards 🦎

A big week for our research group! The first paper from @miaryras.bsky.social's PhD thesis has been accepted. Looking forward to sharing some nice results about the effects of winter warming on wall lizard behaviour and physiology very soon. Well done Miary! 🤩

Big milestone for me - the 1st MacLeod Lab get-together! @miaryras.bsky.social & I have been a dynamic duo for 3 years but we are now joined by Charlotte (cosupervised w/ @asutto.bsky.social) & MRes students, Keya & Sacheus. Research is even more fun when you’re part of such a great team 🤩

We’re recruiting for a #PhD opportunity funded by NERC Envision DTP, investigating the impact of climate change on chytrid disease dynamics in Appalachian salamanders. Full details here: findaphd.com?pj=182328
