Publication alert! ✨ Our recent paper in Ecology & Evolution addresses how to make conferences more inclusive. We collected observational and experimental data during Q&A sessions at the Behaviour 2023 congress hosted by Bielefeld University, and circulated a survey among conference attendees [1/4]

Paper ACCEPTED- in time for me to mention that it's been accepted when I present on it at my conference next week.

What a great idea, if we ever decide to have a baby I'm definitely stealing this! 😁

Fantastic new paper led by @charlotteesharpe.bsky.social exploring the integration of Ai and citizen science through @mammalweb.bsky.social with @ps-wildlife-res.bsky.social zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/CJ8QP4...

and I just need to sell one more of these to break even on creating this design! Would be lovely to do it over Easter 🌷🐇

A fluffy labradoodle dog stood on a small bench in a woodland looking towards the camera with his mouth open so he looks like he is grinning

I have managed to graduate from my PhD and start a new job (part-time) as a postdoc, which there were times when I never thought would be possible. His happy face brightens my day, he gets me out and walking when I need to, on my bad days makes me laugh and comes and cuddles me when I need to rest 💙

We have built up our walking together from being only able to manage 10mins a day to being able to easily walk 30-40 mins and even some longer walks without collapsing the next day, which seemed impossible a year ago! Building up our walking routine has given me so much more freedom and positivity

It's already been a whole year since Zephyr joined our family, and while he has bought a lot more chaos and mischief into our lives he has been the most incredible support in helping me manage my ME/CFS.

An infographic illustrating the findings of our new paper on the cultural ecosystem services provided by wetlands. The infographic features, at its centre, a stylized drawing of a wetland (featuring reeds, water, a small wading bird, and emerging insects). Arranged around this central image are bubbles that state the percentage of papers that we reviewed that reported information on different types of cultural ecosystem services associated with wetlands. These include categories such as recreation and tourism, inspiration, sense of place, aesthetic value, and bequest. The infographic is titled "Cultural ecosystem services (CES)", and a subtitle mentions that we found evidence of CES provided by wetlands in 175 countries and territories worldwide.

A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights:

1) "There is strong evidence that climate activism shifts public opinion and media coverage in a pro-climate direction, but this varies by context and the tactics employed."

Doodles to the left of me, doodles to the right, here I am stuck in th middle with my literature review 🎶

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry
