There's no 'right' way to write.

Some people write as they think and think as they write

Some people think first and then find the best words later

Some people just need to get words on the page and then think it through

It's about finding the approach that's *right* for you.

New study sheds light on the critical role of pollinators in crop production, with guidance for future research 🐝

Pollinator dependence values across various crops and cultivars reveal an underestimation of pollinator importance 🌻

Our new paper, led by Dr. Maxime Eeraerts, examines how #pollination deficits & their relation with insect #pollinator visitation are cultivar-dependent in an entomophilous crop ( #Blueberry ) in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment: doi.org/10.1016/j.agee… (🐝📸Jason Gibbs)

We have this terrible struggle to try to explain things to people who have no reason to want to know.

I used to think that people would recognize when someone is doing 3 people’s jobs. I realized:

1. People don’t
2. It sets unrealistic expectations of what can/should be done by 1 human
3. Instead of applauding your Herculean sweat, you’re blamed across 3 surface areas when

I’m just a small brain trying to do big brain stuff

PASTEL SHADES ALL THE WAY

The outcome of your PhD is not your dissertation, it's you.

🌞Last week's good weather enabled further progress in the fieldwork for Sara Lopes's doctoral thesis.

✅This time, we worked with a pair of Saxifraga species!

Special thanks to Afonso Petronilho, Catarina Siopa, and Pedro Lopes for their invaluable assistance!

Thesis...

Catarina Siopa (Catarina Siopa) was one of the speakers at today's dcv.talks (@DCV_UC), where she presented some of the results of her PhD project, with the talk 'Pollination and Pollinators in Crops'! 🌸🪰🦋🐝🌼

🍒🫐🐝 This Wednesday, March 20th, at 7 pm, Helena Castro and Catarina Siopa, researchers from FLOWer Lab, will participate in the Webinar 'Pollinators and Agriculture' (in PT) promoted by A ROCHA Portugal

The webinar is free but registration is mandatory: lnkd.in/den6VV2i

INMELUS🐝! Days 3 and 4 of sampling!

This week, we finished the Tomar region for the first sampling of the year! We now go North!

This work is part of Hugo Gaspar's PhD and has the support and participation of several members of our Lab (thanks Catarina Siopa and Tiago Laranjo)

You are not alone (8 human struggles):

But I really need to vacuum before I can write.

Today we launched #FITCount in 🇵🇹, a citizen science app to monitor plant-pollinator interactions, developed by UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in the scope of the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme.

The FLOWer Lab 🌸🍒 🐝 🪰🔬🧬 adapted all the contents to 🇵🇹pollinators
