At some conferences you get free pens, but at #NESEN (North East Scotland Environmental Network) you get potatoes. 🥔❤️😂

Many thanks to the organisers and presenters and to @srucnews.bsky.social for hosting.

Wow! Today was the final day of my last @quadratdtp.bsky.social ASM. How fast the last three years have gone! I am very grateful to QUADRAT, my cohort 4 colleagues and my supervisors (shout out to supervisor extraordinaire @fmanfredini.bsky.social) for this wonderful and challenging experience. 🥰

I am so grateful to @jyourstone.bsky.social and her former lab at @biologylu.bsky.social for hosting me this week to learn their novel pollen scanning protocol. What a treat!

I was so lucky to have been able to spend my first @royentsoc.bsky.social meeting with this great group I met this summer at an Insect Taxonomy course at @morethanadodo.bsky.social (aka Falk’s Followers). #Ento25

A spectacular Day 1 of #Ento25! #EntOlympics (we came in 7th), an address from RES President Jane Stout in a building with more marble than the Vatican and not 1 but 2 talks on micronutrient foraging in pollinators (one from me). A million thanks to @royentsoc.bsky.social!

What a privilege to have been able to spend a week learning techniques in insect taxonomy from the legendary Steven Falk & @liamcrowley.bsky.social. A million thanks to Thomas Hesselberg & Zoë Simmons and her staff at @morethanadodo.bsky.social for the experience.

Feeling very lucky to be back in the #Hebrides doing fieldwork with @fmanfredini.bsky.social & @jyourstone.bsky.social. Stunning machair and the pollinators it supports!

I have to highlight this amazing profile created for #PollinatorWeek and the folks studying them by the @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social Zoo & Roots student organisation.

❤️🐝❤️🐝

Great to be part of organising for today’s Career Planning event for PhDs and ECRs in life sciences with @sulsa.bsky.social!

A million thanks to @hibernogruppe.bsky.social for coming all the way to Aberdeen to share your research with us.

And congrats to Szymon on getting a commendation award on the talk! Yay!

Great talk by Szymon Szymanski on research on GABAergic link of learning with DWV in honeybees conducted with Fabio Manfredini at @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social at #IUSSINW2024 in London.

First post on @bsky.app!

I’m very excited to be at #IUSSINW2024 in London to present an experiment on #bumblebee foraging preference for essential micronutrients.
