Last month I presented my work on amphibian antipredator behaviour at #Behaviour2025 in Kolkata, India. I met so many cool people and potential future collaborators! Thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to present and to @asab.org and @britishecologicalsociety.org for funding my attendance!

Had a blast catching up with good friends and talking science last week at @qmul.bsky.social - my final Joint DTP Conference! Thanks to the organisers for doing such a brilliant job in spite of the tube strikes! @londonnercdtp.bsky.social

Thanks so much to everyone who attended my #Behaviour2025 talk on Wednesday - thank you for all the questions, advice, and expressions of interest. You were a fabulous audience! 🐸
The app apparently tells you if your talk was well-attended. What a world we live in! 🤯

Super excited to be in Kolkata for #Behaviour2025! If you’ve ever wondered how machine learning and behaviour can help us conserve endangered species, come and see my talk at 11:58 on Wednesday 27th in Hall 6! 🐸

A very successful Adder Day 2025! The weather was almost too nice this year, the scaly fellas didn't hang around for long.

Had a fabulous time at #BES2024 in #Liverpool! Thank you to @britishecolsoc.bsky.social for the opportunity to present my work, chair one of the brilliant Behavioural Ecology symposia (all of which I attended and enjoyed immensely!), and network with other ecology nerds! Until next year! 🐸
