CURB - CleanUptheRiverBrent #CURB Add your voice to over a quarter of a million, 250,000 others demanding END THE POLLUTION OF OUR WATERS act.goodlawproject.org/a/protect-our-….

Very excited to announce the launch of THE WATERSHED POLLUTION MAP! River health, landfills, sewage, road run-off, intensive farming, big industry, forever chemicals, abandoned mines, bathing waters, flood risk, protected areas and so much more... 🧵 bit.ly/45GBMRQ

We have compiled a list of incredible institutions located in the UK & Ireland offering part-time & full-time #Entomology-related courses to get you on the right track to achieving your #Entomological #Career aspirations 🐞 royensoc.co.uk/membership-and… #Education #Research #Science

'Exuvia', 'exuvium' or 'exuviae'? what's the singular form? I've been trawling the internet & there is no agreement on this. For #chironomidae, both Epler (2001) & Cranston (1995, below) have clarified their position: it's 'EXUVIAE', #exuvia & #exuvium would be contrivances

Sorry for the explicit picture! but this is the state of our rivers! 🤬 and Thames Water 💧 want us to pay by rising our bills (again), while the boss received a £195k bonus! this is an scandal of unbelievable proportion! #sewage #Sewage #waterquality

I was happy to find this garden white in our allotment, considering the huge decline in #butterflies this season in the UK. We left an unmown patch where wild plants have been growing to boost invertebrate diversity. This might be a hint that is working! #ClimateCrisis

Folks—Britain’s waterways are dying. We know this now. Our rivers are on life support. So on 26 Oct come to London & join the @marchforwater to demand change & reclaim the right to clean water. Sign up here, spread the word, see you there! marchforcleanwater.org #floodthestreets

#Wetlands are the Earth’s kidneys: 🦀reviving #biodiversity, 💧filtering and replenishing water supplies, 🫧storing carbon, 🏃enhancing livelihoods, 🌪 buffering against floods and storms. Via Official Gazette PH

In Liverpool for #ento24! where I'll present the main results of my PhD, which was about characterising the diversity of aquatic #macroinvertebrates (and #chironomids in particular) in the #okavangodelta (Botswana) using traditional #taxonomy and #eDNA

"Caring for irreplaceable insects: effective conservation strategies in biodiversity hotspots", a fascinating talk by #Ento24's first plenary, Michael Samways, Emeritus Distinguished Professor at Stellenbosch University. Michael Samways’ plenary lecture is sponsored by Harper Adams University.

Very thankful for the opportunity to present the main results of my PhD at #Ento24 I enjoyed all the sessions and the cherry on the cake for the 1st day was winning the pub quiz! #entomology #okavangodelta #chironomidae

Another brilliant #EntOlympics with another fantastic team name 🪲 Huge congratulations to the winners: The Long and Winding Roach! #Ento24

Record-breaking temperatures in the Mediterranean & altered current patterns due to #climatechange are behind the disastrous floods in Central Europe. An explanation with very cool graphics!

I'm officially a Dr 🥳 & I've started a very exciting project at the #NHM called GeneFlow. Next month we'll sample #eDNA 🧬 & #macroinvertebrates 🪱 in 10 #chalkstreams in Hertfordshire & the Chilterns with the help of #CitizenScientists 👩🏻‍🔬 I'll be posting updates here!
