excited to receive my copy of the Niche today from @britishecologicalsociety.org and to see zebras featured on the front cover! 🦓

Something I always try to have on me during my presentations is my lucky coin with Rosalind Franklin and DNA, gifted to me by @shaunkeegan.bsky.social to remind me how cool it is to be a #WomaninSTEM 💪🏻👩‍🔬

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

I will be forever grateful for this unique opportunity that my #internship allowed me!

The Grevy’s Zebra is such a wonderful species and I’m so proud to say I’m contributing towards their #conservation

a fantastic closing ceremony to wrap up #IWEC2025 yesterday! including traditional samburu singing and dancing, followed by a very entertaining demonstration about the work Grevy’s Zebra Trust do 🦓

#WildEquidConservation #GrevysZebra #WildlifeConservation

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

a brilliant opening talk this morning from Peter Lalampaa, the Executive Director of the Grevy’s Zebra Trust on the importance of blending indigenous knowledge with scientific research for effective wildlife conservation! 🦓 #IWEC2025

Safely arrived in Nanyuki, Kenya ahead of the International Wild Equid Conference starting tomorrow! #IWEC2025

I’m in Kenya for the next 2.5 weeks as part of my PhD #internship with Grevy’s Zebra Trust and Marwell Wildlife! We are meeting with all the different partners involved in the Grevy’s zebra projects and will be attending the International Wild Equid Conference #IWEC 🦓

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!

time to play a game of spot the #kingfisher this morning! 🪶👀

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 🥰

Thats me wrapping up from a brilliant #BES2024 - wouldn’t have been complete without my obligatory zebra notebook! 🦓

Thank you to everyone who came by my poster, asked questions, and those at the SIG socials! 🦓🦌🦠

See you next time!

The poster’s up and it’s almost time for the second session at #BES2024 !

Find me at 13.7 to chat all things bacterial diversity in wild deer! 🦌 🦠

#WomenInSTEM

Always exciting to spot one of my #StudySpecies when out hiking, and I find myself wondering what pathogens each of them might be carrying 👀🦠

About time I introduce my #PhD research!

I am researching how land use and bioclimate impact environmentally transmitted pathogens in wild red and roe #deer in Scotland. My main focus has been on non-tuberculous mycobacteria ( #NTMs ) diversity across different landscapes and host species! 🦌🦠
