I am really looking forward to meeting everyone at this event.

This is going to a very interesting PhD for someone! Take a look if you are interested in soil ecology and bringing together different technologies to investigate soil invertebrate interactions. #PhD #Fera #Newcastle

Honored to be the plenary speaker Royal Entomological Society #SF24 shouting out about beneficial beetles to farming, and the benefits of working with the people who apply your science #farmers #agriculture #ipm Rothamsted Research #entomologist #beetle

Really well done to everyone for excellent talks and posters all round and special congratulations to the winners for best talks and posters.

🎉The first paper for the Agricultural and Forest Entomology special issue on advances in insect monitoring for agriculture and forestry is out now! 🎉 How aphids fly: Take-off, free flight and implications for short and long distance migration 🪽📽️ Check it out! doi.org/10.1111/afe.12…

🎉New paper in SICB from a collaboration with Evolutionary Biomechanics Laboratory and Fredric Windsor! 🎉 Understanding trophic interactions in a warming world by bridging foraging ecology and biomechanics with network science Check out the paper and the thread below! 🧵📜 doi.org/10.1093/icb/ic…

We are looking for #soil classification surveyors to help us to deliver surveys across England. We have survey sites available in most regions. Please contact us at Fera for more information. soils.org.uk/vacancy/soil-c…

Entomologists Fera are working with Albert Bartlett Ltd to help protect Scottish Seed Potatoes from aphid-transmitted viruses. We also work with seed potato growers across England and Wales. potatonewstoday.com/2024/07/16/alb…

This is the first time I’ve seen this. It’s great. One of the reasons I love entomology is that one person cannot possibly know everything. Don’t feel stupid; feel curious! Getting the results we expect is fairly boring. Trying to understand the unexpected is the interesting bit.

Looking forward to getting the CUPGRA wireworm trial out of the ground and get assessments done. Looking at a range of compounds and how they influence wireworm feeding, other aspects of IPM are investigated too.
