My office magpie is back for another year of covering the ledge in wires and cableties. Apparently there is little evidence of magpies caching nest materials(?)… I hope this is a friendly stare and I’m going to be safe this swooping season🤞🏻

What a way to sign off an amazing first @humboldt-foundation.de visit as a Kokkonut @kokkonut.bsky.social! Lab retreat in the Swiss Alps = lots of hiking, good food, relaxing (and DECRA rejoinders), and laughs. Can’t wait to come back and get cracking on some super cool projects! 😍

6 years ago I got to do a research visit thanks to the @eseb.bsky.social Godfrey Hewitt Mobility Award. I’m so happy to reunite with the lab I visited in Zurich and my adoptive Swiss parents who took me in 🥰

Found this on my street in Germany 😍 how lucky am I to now own a beautiful piece of home from a closed down woodwork shop where my mum grew up 💛
