Hurrah for #earthworm & bravo The Guardian Patrick Barkham for this fab campaign. Of course I was cheering #TeamWasp , championed by Chris Packham.. but earthworm is a good 2nd best. Worms & wasps struggle for public approval compared to charismatic, pretty, cute inverts. RESULT!

Pls RT. #Job !

Deadline approaching! 19th April - #Bioinformatician role in #Evolutionary #Genomics - come work with us on a Natural Environment Research Council funded grant. See post 👇 and link for details.
