🔍 Differentiating fly species by eye, especially their larvae, is a tough task.
🧠 But on a temperature gradient, we discovered distinct behaviours.
🏔️ These temperature preference shifts align with their ecologies!

This is brilliant.

Pay attention Rishi Sunak and anyone else glibly saying we should ‘get rid of’ the European Convention on Human Rights.

The decimation of Anthropology at UK universities (Kent 😭; us at Goldsmiths facing becoming unviable due to rendundancies) is incredibly short-sighted.

A short 🧵 giving 8 reasons why the world needs anthropology and anthropologists, now more than ever 1/9:

The disconnect between public perception of academia vs. the reality is so immense. Anti-intellectuals on the right and left assume that academia is run by--and full of cushy tenured jobs for--'Marxists.' The reality is that universities are run like neoliberal businesses. 1/

Very happy to see this study from our lab Universität München led by Matteo Rossi and Alexander Hausmann finally out. In collaboration with salazar.camilo Carolina Pardo Pepe Alcami Markus Moest Smithsonian Panama URosario OsmanLab and many others 1/n

For 50 years, scientists like me have warned about the climate disaster. We've done 1000s of studies and reports, millions of talks to schools, churches and community centres, worked with politicians and businesses. Despite that, progress has been feeble and disaster now looms.

Very proud of my old friend Richard Merrill for this excellent paper and the culmination of 17 years hard graft 👏🏻

Got there in the end…

Fascinating historical review on Ingeborg Beling's work who was PhD student of Karl von Frisch back in 1929 and did pioneering experiments on time-place learning in honeybees. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
By Katharina Beer, Günther K.H. Zupanc, Charlotte Förster.

One of the most celebrated areas of British society and a core reason for the country's reputation around the world. Vandalised, just like everything else, by people who have none of the seriousness required for governance.
