Taking some time off 🏖️ working on research proposals and presentations by jumping back into #photography 📷 after abandoning it for a while 😆

Rainy days make for great pictures it seems! 🌧️

Had a great run presenting in front of fellow CEB-ists! Onto the real thing tomorrow! 🐜💪🏼
@brainiants.bsky.social discussed her PhD proposal this afternoon where she plans to study variation in intraspecific cognition & its relation to complex behaviors, specifically combat and group foraging in Western Australian ants. 🐜 @mandyridley.bsky.social @notthebestsam.bsky.social #LeighSimmons
