Had an absolutely great time at @bes-egg.bsky.social presenting my work on Merganser phylogenomics at their “on scales of time” conference at Cardiff Museum this past week!
Great few days with the most welcoming crowd!

Thanks ✨
Honestly I’d love to stay in research but I think with the field at the minute I have to go with the money 👀

Me stood on St Clair Beach under the aurora australis

Aurora? I hardly know her!

Isn’t it!! I bought it off Ravelry/Ravit and it’s called “it’s not a sweatshirt” happy to send the pdf tho ☺️

Eight months of procrastination but my jumper is nearly done!
The end is in sight, just needs the arms 🧶

Can’t gym while I’m over here so if anyone else is a runner/wants to see the hikes I’m doing here’s the strava 👇

Gm Bluesky! Here’s me with the setting sun as it rises for you guys! It’s been an emotional few days transition here but today’s been a good day

If you have any tips for Dunedin/The South Island pls help! I’ll be there for two months!

Had the dream day talking about my science and seeing behind the scenes at the zoo! What a day 🦜🧬

Honestly the Shaymin made my day!

It’ll be such a cute little get away!

Yeah it really lulls for a time doesn’t it, I actually put it down for a few weeks and really struggled getting back! The choices in the last quest hit as well so best of luck!!

I felt exactly the same! I got stuck in such a rut of side quests and having to always go back to the lighthouse just to chat! I found the last mission or so really makes up for the final 3/4 slog though!

Hehe I study the genetics of an endangered species in captivity! They’re my babies at this point
