It's 1st December... which means it's time for my merry #mistletoe advent calendar! One mistletoe fact a day up to Christmas (without repeating myself from last year...) 🎄🌱🧪 (1/26)

Our very own @biolliegist.bsky.social and @erolafenollosa.bsky.social will be will be part of this event next week. It’s always timely and important to discuss gender biases in quantitative ecology 🌈📊 @biology.ox.ac.uk #GenderBiasInScience #QuantitativeEcology
Next tuesday I’ll be contributing to the Gender and Quantitative Ecology Panel Discussion! hosted by @bes-quantitative.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org with the beautiful minds: @vinitagowda.bsky.social @nhcooper123.bsky.social @trishg.bsky.social @biolliegist.bsky.social 💚💜🌈
Quantifying Ecology - British Ecological Society
The Quantitative Ecology SIG are teaming up with a cohort of BES groups to put on a series of free webinars exploring all facets of quantitative ecology.

Mistletoe isn't particularly common in North Lincolnshire, but I'm lucky to have a site not far from home. I don't remember ever seeing it in an Alder before; I'm not sure how unusual this host is. I've submitted it via the MistleGo app - I hope @biolliegist.bsky.social will be pleased!
