Got home from Tokyo 2 weeks ago and I’ve already had 2 taxis just drive off once they see I’m in a wheelchair! Disability awareness is continuing to get better but things like this need to stop!People need to realise that we are just normal people and not just an inconvenience😡

Are you an #entomologist or someone who appreciates #insects and #music lover, especially of rhythm and blues? Then, like me, you might find this photo in today's NYT of Sam Cooke and his wife in their home interesting. Look at the wall decorations.

So very sad to hear of the passing of Simon Leather 🔶🇪🇺. I filmed this ‘A is for Aphids’ video at Harper Adams University back in 2013. Absolutely worthy of a watch, Simon at his best. m.youtube.com/watch?v=liBt59…

This is such sad news. Myself and countless others have learnt so much from him and I'm in no doubt his work will inspire future generations of entomologists. I feel very privileged to have had him as my PhD external examiner. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Interesting (but worrying) talk about representation of entomology in higher education modules (under represented in the UK) by Amma Simon - with some great suggestions of things we can do! #Ento22

Chuffed to have presented a poster and given a talk at Royal Entomological Society #Ento22! I've had a wonderful time connecting with Entomologists from around the world and hearing about the awesome research happening in #Entomology.
