Seems suitable for today: I resurrected my clay extruder for creating pastry prey for experiments on bird predation. It also looks like a very teeny Eldritch horror emerging from a teeny portal... Strongly agree with Talya that ecology is just being 7 yrs old again! #evolution #camouflage #research

Congratulations to @sicilyfiennes.bsky.social on successfully defending their PhD thesis! I can honestly say that this was one of the most interesting projects I have been involved with, the most talented students I have supervised, and the least stressful waits for a viva outcome :-)

Bluesky seems a little more serious and work-related than the old place, but here's this year's gingerbread house just in case anyone is interested!

Lovely to see The Nectary again, this year creating a fun traffic jam around the campus. It was seven years ago that Alison and I met, and her amazing work always brings me joy. "I'm a bee! I'm a bee!". 🐝 🌺

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,095,554! Very much a follower and not a leader, but glad I'm here!

Happy birthday to this calendar reminder, which I have now been snoozing for a full year...

Hey Bluesky - I guess part of moving across from the old place is posting these selfies. Give blood if you can! #giveblood #nhs
