Very moving presentation from one of the recipients of the EUEA award from @eseb.bsky.social . As a trans academic myself, seeing effort being put into inclusivity has been refreshing. Thank you for platforming this topic and supporting people like this speaker 🏳️‍⚧️

Final words of the last #ESEB2025 plenary by @jmappes.bsky.social:
"Science moves forward when we keep both our curiosity and our humility"

Goodbye #eseb2025 @eseb2025.bsky.social see you next time!

Perhaps what stuck most was powerful talk on resilience and survival by Palestinian researcher, play director, and ESEB EUEA awardee May Shehady. Let's not forget, let's not look away. 🇵🇸

Two unforgettable talks on the final day of #eseb2025 highlighting the extra steps trans & other researchers must take just to participate- balancing safety at institutions, conferences, field sites and even speaking publicly. I can’t imagine the toll. These lessons will stay with me 🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸

Incredible presentation from Sophia EO prize winner #eseb2025. Let’s hear her call for our evolutionary biology community to support trans colleagues facing such challenges.

I've had a wonderful 1st day at @eseb2025.bsky.social Here are the sketches from some of the talks I attended today. My highlights include Tristan on the adaptive genomics of colour spots on owls, Vicky on pearl mussel's response to climate change & Rebekah on firefly TEs & TE-induced mutations

There are almost 2,000 people at #ESEB2025 this year - what an incredible community to share science with!

Excited to give the final talk of my PhD at #ESEB2025 - don’t miss it! It’s at 4pm, room 114

we now have a ✨️poster✨️ you can print and put up on your campus - a great way to demonstrate your support!

Attending a writing retreat in Cromarty, Highlands this week, organised by #SUPERdtp. Looking forward to a productive few days in beautiful surroundings and great company as I finish my paper on the adaptive landscape of Scottish mussels. Got my binos for bird and dolphin spotting in my breaks! 🐬

Fantastic #MolluscanForum this week—great feedback and fresh ideas for my thesis chapter on adaptive landscapes of freshwater pearl mussels. Lovely to catch up with familiar faces and hear about their work—looking forward to wrap this chapter up soon!

I’m presenting my PhD chapter on Scottish freshwater pearl mussel genomics at the #MolluscanForum in London next week. Excited to hear from others and get fresh ideas! Let me know if you'll be there! 🧬🦪 Sneak peek below.

Now my next Audible credit has arrived for this month, what do you think I should listen to next? These are the books I have enjoyed this year. I'm thinking The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks or Decolonising University? Or maybe I should add another cosy fiction to balance things out

I will lurk, like and repost from this account, just as I did on the old place
