🥕We are launching a brand new #UrbanFood #CitizenScience project in #BrightonandHove!
🍓Bitesize Biodiversity needs grower's help to understand more about crop diversity+the experiences of growers in the city
🥦Want to learn more? Email/txt @leah_salm to register your interest – at Woodingdean, England

Congratulations to @AstroSeb and @SussexUni @PhysicsAtSussex for the work we’re leading being selected by @NASA as one of two proposals being considered for $1 billion astrophysics mission. ukri.org/news/nasa-selects-p…
Looking forward to a mini lab outing to this event tonight! Will be nice to take a break from bees (specifically, writing grants about bees...)
"Be afraid. Be very afraid." Went the tagline for the 1986 movie 'The Fly'. It tapped into the deep rooted notion that flies are one of the most hated groups on the planet. But what about the truth . . .

Wondered how pollinator learning affects pollination for 🌺🌻🌼? More complex 🌺🌻🌼 require ⬆️learning, and learning ⬆️pollen collection, but has NO effect on pollen transfer! New @BehavEcol pub from #RussellLab grad & undergrads; collab w/ @dr_tialynn academic.oup.com/beheco/adva…

Around the ICE venue, 6 species of stag beetles can be seen. It's not the best season right now, but if you have the chance, try looking for them! #ICE2024kyoto #ICE2024

My wool carder bee has packed up for the season and left me with this amazing nest 🤩 You can definitely see some cells but I have left it intact incase some grubs haven’t pupated. I wonder how many eggs she laid? 🐝

Excited to share this work with @nicrodemo on buzz-pollination biomechanics. We show that flower biting behaviour is an effective strategy to transfer vibrations of the thorax to the flower via the head!
