Very excited to have my first ever (and first-first author!) paper out today, four years after I finished my masters at University of Bristol Biological Sciences! We made a rain machine in the lab to understand how bumblebees behave during rainfall 🐝🌧

It’s Evolutionary Fact Friday for the first Friday of the month! Did you know that it was global cooling around 10 million years ago that was the main driver of the diversity of terrestrial orchids that we see today? Here’s a lovely such orchid on campus University of Bath that some

New paper from Mabel Sydney , Tracey Chapman & me. First from Mabel's PhD 🎉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… How does mating affect what animals eat? We know that mating really changes what females eat (in at least some species). After mating, females eat more & prefer more protein. 🧵

Really enjoyed writing this blog post 📝 A great opportunity to find out about the #publicengagement work of lifesciencebath, featuring Josie Elliott and Tiffany Taylor and myself! 🔬🥼🧫🪰 Milner Centre for Evolution Evolution Education Trust Public Engagement Unit at the University of Bath #citizenscience

Taylor Swift has donated enough money to cover the food bills for an entire year across 11 food banks and 8 community pantries in Liverpool. She has done this for every city she's toured in the UK meaning she’s done more than the govt has in 14 years to eradicate food poverty.

Wooooo! Election-themed Evolution Fact Friday from the fab Ellie Jarvis of Milner Centre for Evolution! Now makes me look at our human candidates in a slightly different light! 😮🤭🐟

What happened to flowering plants 66 Mya at the K-Pg mass extinction? If you want to hear about what phylogenies and fossils say, and the work Santiago Ramírez Barahona and I have done, I am doing a Royal Society Publishing seminar in a few weeks. Chaired by Prof Chris Venditti cassyni.com/events/EJXN1Vm…

Grab yourself some handmade microbiology themed jewellery! 🦠🧫 Keira is so incredibly talented and she deserves every success with this new venture 🥰

Lots of cancer drugs are plant derived. But can ethnobotanical knowledge and phylogenies guide the discovery of future cancer drugs? Our study suggests potential, and we discuss areas for future research. Work with Julie Hawkins in Plants People Planet 🌱👥🌐 🌱 doi.org/10.1002/ppp3.1…
