One way to escape the rain I suppose #hinkseylake #britishbirds #cormorant

A morning of excellent talks SCAPE Pollination Ecology #SCAPE2020 and I already have >20 tabs to follow up on. Definitely an advantage of virtual conferences is being able to link papers in the chat!#pollinationecology

Last day to witness my obsession with colour coordination in the form of a poster on pollen nutrition!

This keynote about pollination accuracy was SO GOOD! Learnt tonnes and very engaging

Excellent talk by Mario Vallejo-Marin at SCAPE Pollination Ecology - so intrigued to see more work done on pollen foraging by flies. Would be very interested to see if nutritional requirements play any role #SCAPE2020 #buzzpollination #diptera

Always love hearing about bat pollination and cute photos are a bonus!

Check out this golf ball sized cutie who was hiding near the river today! First golden crest I’ve ever seen and it doesn’t disappoint BTO RSPB #britishbirds #fluffball #Autumnwatch

10/10 sci comms

This has made my day and the comments are amazing 😂

Dressed fleas from Mexico, as seen being imaged by Dr Erica McAlister in #NaturalHistoryMuseum: World of Wonder last night! We are in the process of digitising the 260,000 specimens in our flea (Siphonaptera) collection. Explore them on our Data Portal: data.nhm.ac.uk/search/expert-…

Seriously cool stuff

I'm proud to be associated with the newly launched Database of Pollinator Interaction Database of Pollinator Interactions, hope it proves to be a valuable free resource for scientists, conservationists, & all interested in pollinators & pollination dopi.org.uk Prof. Jeff Ollerton - @[email protected]

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We will be putting a spotlight on women who inspire YOU today. Make sure to use #ConservationOptimism on your posts or reply to this one so that we can create an awesome thread of women scientists. #WomenInScienceDay

Hellebores are a fantastic source of early spring nectar to feed buff-tailed bumblebees and there are loads of attractive varieties to choose from The RHS @BrisBotanicGdn #bees #pollinators

Super impressed at day one of the European Bumblebee Conference, so many engaging talks - if you couldn’t make it, highly recommend going to the second session next Saturday! 🐝

They’re finally done! The pattern was intended to make an orange underwing but I went rogue with the colours 🧶 I’m sure there’s a moth that looks like this somewhere.... #lockdownknitting #scicrafts

What's the line up this week? A thread:

Thanks for reading! This paper has been a collaborative effort between The RHS and researchers from University of Bristol, Cardiff University, The University of Edinburgh, Uni of Reading and Northumbria Uni. Also check out our press release: bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/febr… (6/6)
