Remember kids, if someone says your paper has too many details and that you should remove them, there's a poor grad student trying to replicate results from a publication with barely any information

Had a lot of fun speaking at Durham’s Pint of Science UK this week - thank you to Lara Small, Tate Goche + Yuliang Zhou for organising and hosting me! Was in good company with great talks from Simona Capisani talking about non-human refugees and John Bothwell talking about seaweed!🐜

Are you a moth-trapper with a spare 10 minutes? If so, please fill in the following survey aiming to understand moth-ers and their relationship with insects in traps 🐝🦋 Please share! qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_55… (Best on computer/tablet)

Does anyone have a PDF of Starr, M.P. (1975) 'A generalised scheme for classifying organisms associations', Symposia of the society of Experimental Biology, 29 1-20 that they could share with me? Thanks in advance!! #ecology #evolution

📢 LAST CALL! We’ve given you some extra time to submit your abstract for #Ento24. Don’t miss your chance to present your research to a large audience across the field of insect science. 📅 Deadline: 17:00 (BST), Wed 19 June royensoc.co.uk/ento24-abstrac…

The web Quast site appears to be down - does anybody know if this is a temporary issue? and if not, does anyone know of a similar web-based application? For a course I am running in a couple of weeks QUAST where we do not have cluster access

Thank you to the organisers and speakers for an excellent conference!

So exciting and inspiring to be surrounded by so many #antpeople this week 🐜

Super talk by Christophe Patterson on the #evolution of #seasonal #melanisation in damselflies, using a huge continental-scale dataset! Melanised wings influence predation risk and decrease interference from phenotypically similar, related species... Royal Entomological Society #Ento24

It's the final day of #Ento24, and last but certainly not least, meet Plenary Susanne Foitzik in Teaching Room 6 for a chat before her talk on "(Co)Evolution and molecular regulation of ant behaviour, chemical and life history traits". University of Liverpool

What an excellent way to end a great #Ento24 conference. Brilliant talk from Susanne Foitzik. Thank you to the organisers and all speakers for a great conference 🐜🦋🐝🐞🦟🦗🪲🪰🪳🕷️

Does anyone ever do Qiagen kits entirely by gravity flow? I'm doing Nucleobond HMW DNA (which are great) and can't help but feel that long incubation with the buffers associated with gravity flow is part of the secret.

How do domatia develops? Fun work w Nat Walker-Hale, Peter Etchells, Eleanore J. Ritter, @weber_mg ! We describe the morphological and phylogenetic diversity of these structures and speculate about how these key, often complex mutualistic traits develop sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Huge congratulations for successfully passing your viva Laura on a fascinating thesis on Philidris farming ant evolution and genomics! Well done Dr. Campbell!!! Durham BioSciences

Really happy to have pasted my PhD viva today! 🥳 Thank you to Guillaume Chomicki and Nat Walker-Hale for my brilliant hat and to 🌿Dan Nesbit 🦜 for my ant-plant cake 🐜 🌱 Thank you to @[email protected] aka Adria LeBoeuf and Adrian Brennan for a great viva

Super impressive work here by Giannetti and colleagues (+ accompanying blog post by me)! The use of 3D printing here is really striking and clearly the ants agree as these galls are highly attractive to ants, promising as a chemical-free pest control solution

🚨PHD OPPORTUNITY!🚨 Join us in Newcastle University to assess carabid beetle ecosystem services and foraging ecology, and develop new methods for inferring interactions between beetles and their food! 🪲🍽️💻 iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/a…

Honestly not sure if anyone is still here (on Twitter) but just in case I have a PhD opportunity on #insect #ethics and #welfare. Details below; warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…
