Care to answer a 2 minute survey to help a 10 year old’s school project about animals? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Today I got my clinical diagnosis for an “unusual but severe” allergy to bloodworms🪱 It’s a nasty (and inconvenient) allergy that can be developed through frequent exposure, so this is my annual reminder to the fishy community to always wear gloves when handling bloodworms!!

We're in the final countdown! There's one week left in our fundraiser and we are just £135 away from being able to fund one more microgrant - spread the word to your friends, family, colleagues! opencollective.com/animal-behavio…

Enjoying my morning coffee a little more today ☕️ Thanks for the chairs award Bristol Thunder Korfball Club and Beth Ryan! I’m very sad to be leaving the club this summer, but this will work nicely as a little Thunder memento💙

Happy pride month from the baddest baddy in the sea.

Please spread the word about our summer undergraduate research project, funded by Natural Environment Research Council for UK students of Black or Asian heritage: How does anthropogenic change impact the effectiveness of camouflage?  nercgw4plus.ac.uk/s/IOANNOU.pdf Deadline 20th June!!! nercgw4plus.ac.uk/undrgrad-place…

Why is this important? Small fish like #guppies are safest with their mates and far away from hungry predators, but in warmer and more turbid water they end up more isolated 😶‍🌫️& closer to their foes, not ideal! 9/12

Amazing stuff Costanza!! Check out the thread for an overview of Costanza Zanghí’s work on multiple stressors and antipred behaviour in guppies🐟🌡️💧

Masters thesis is officially submitted ☑️🎉 Still the viva to come, but it feels great to get to this point! Though I’m not too sure what to do with myself now😅

fish am I right?

To all our new followers ➡️ We are a collective of animal behaviour researchers (from students to faculty members) committed to the active support of animal behaviour students from working-class and historically excluded communities!

A fantastic thread on our new paper that came out earlier this week! Super proud of Rob for all his hard work on this as a UoB Palaeobiology MSc student, and of course many thanks to co-authors Dr. Catherine Sheard and Tim for their contributions also! 🐒

Really happy to have passed my MRes viva this morning!! Many thanks to my examiners Tim Caro and Laura Kelley, I really enjoyed the opportunity to ramble about my work! #TeamFish

⚡️Potential PhD opportunities⚡️If you like any combo of antipredator colouration, collective behaviour, fish, fieldwork in nice places, or robotics, please get in touch for opportunities at my new lab starting Oxford Biology!🐠🐠🐟🐟tinyurl.com/3xvtv8s9

Make behaviour and ecology more equitable by spreading the word about our PhD project for UK students of Black heritage: Impacts of artificial light at night on predator-prey interactions in tropical rivers with Amy Deacon and Andy D Higginson findaphd.com/phds/project/f…

Officially a Master of fish🐠 Had such a lovely time last week celebrating the new degree titles, and reminiscing about our time at University of Bristol

Days 1 and 2 of @plymbiolmarsci 1st year field course🌊 Students are getting stuck in learning about rocky shore ecology, and thinking about how to form hypotheses and design experiments to test their ideas. Meanwhile, staff are trying their hardest to soak up the sun! #PlyMBIO

⚡️Postdoc in sensory ecology!⚡️ 3 year position at Oxford Biology on colouration in fish schools! If antipredator colour, collective behaviour, fieldwork in nice places, and fun experiments with predatory fish is your thing, get in touch! Pls RT 🐟🐟🐠🐠💥jobs.ac.uk/job/DHJ328/pos…

Fantastic final evening for our #marine biology field course ⁦⁦University of Plymouth⁩ here in the Algarve with staff ⁦Miriam Reverter⁩ ⁦Ella Ackroyd⁩ ⁦⁦⁦Mark Briffa⁩ awarding prizes for the top student research projects

My first ever paper! So excited that this is finally out 🐟
