A pleasure to wrap up the first day of the #SBSPGRConference here at the School of Biological Sciences! This conference is a great way to hear what all my friends are up to with their own cool projects - something we don’t often talk about in the lunch room or at coffee time! 🧬🥼🔬 #PhDStudents

After years of no public commitment from UoA to protect their #trans and #queer students, we have decided to publish this letter in hope for positive change
With the Supreme Court ruling in the UK, this is more important than ever

very interesting talk from Prof Dan Rubenstein on the adaptive significance of zebra stripes - turns out there are many reasons why zebras have stripes ! They really are the coolest animals 🦓 #IWEC2025

Had the pleasure of being asked to come back to speak to current students on #VeterinaryBiosciences at @uofglasgow.bsky.social about what I’ve been up to since I graduated from the programme in 2021!
Fingers crossed I’ve inspired some future #Ecologists today!

my favourite seabird 😍
The Razorbill 🐦, a sleek diving bird, thrives in northern waters. It forms monogamous pairs and performs synchronized swimming in courtship. 💙 With its streamlined body, it dives up to 100m to catch fish! 🐟 A true underwater hunter. #Razorbill #BirdFacts #Wildlife #Nature #Seabirds

Just a few more days to apply for a PhD with me! Use new technologies to study movement and ecology of serotine bats in UK. Evidence can guide future rabies control strategies, helping bats and people. Click on project 'Understanding transmission..' here: www.surrey.ac.uk/bbsrc-wessex... #PhD #bats

so happy to finally add a pine marten to my wildlife spotting list, AND have the opportunity to actually photograph one too! 🥹

A lovely, and much needed day #birding yesterday. Recorded 20 different species across two locations from some casual observations. Lighting wasn’t great for too many pics, but here’s a lovely Greylag on the water 🥰

spot me 👀
That’s a wrap!
There’s nothing quite like seeing ecologists and practitioners come together, sparking new ideas and collaborations. We can’t wait to bring this energy to Edinburgh next year.
Until then, stay connected and stay inspired!

Fulmary Christmas and Happy New Deer from Rachael @rachaelclark.bsky.social, Elouise, and Rowan, ft. our PhD study species! Even though the goshawk proved insurmountably difficult to think of a pun for, this was by far the most fun design I've worked on and we had a lot of laughs in the process 😊
