In this review with @PeterGraystock @Sop_Evo @richjgill we show how brood pathogen and pesticide coexposure in bees can occur and what implications this has. We also quantify the literature bias in these areas and highlight what future work should address

My newest paper is out! Commensal microbes are often seen as benign agents peacefully occupying space, but how does the context the microbe finds itself in influence its interaction with the host? Can you help or exploit depending on the circumstances? 🐝🦠tinyurl.com/3n6j72v6
Bugs, Birds and Beasts Day is a fun opportunity to chat to the public about our cool species of interest at @Silwood_Park. 🪲🐦🦇Here's me with part of our stalls with @PeterGraystock and @richjgill telling people about bees! 🐝

Very excited to have this paper out in Ecology Letters with @richjgill ! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… We summarise recent developments in how we can use intraspecific variation to better understand plant-pollinator interactions 🐝🦋🌼🌸
My honeybee brood-the only PhD Life Science photo shortlisted for @imperialcollege photo competition.🙀The goal was to engage the general public via an image and summary (they are cute & alien enough to grab the spotlight)😻 @Silwood_Park you can vote on imperial.ac.uk/natural-scien…
I finally signed up to Mastodon 🦣🐘 It's still a little lonely there, and I see way too few posts on #entomology #microbio and #ecology 😔 so, if you have an account, please follow me on mastodon.social/@entomony
It was an honour to teach #CitizenScience and #ScienceLiteracy at @BardCollege 2024. This programme gives students the tools to evaluate the scientific information that they encounter in their daily lives. Everyone should take it! 😁 Also, look at one of our cool coliform plates!

@PeterGraystock and I were featured on the Healthy Bees Academy podcast, and we shared some of our insights on managing bee disease 😊🐝🪻
What an amazing couple of days #StudentForum23 @RoyEntSoc so many great talks and posters, and such fun entomo-themed activities! It was a true pleasure being able to join and present! #foraging #landscape

@Entomony: Are the most connected flowers in pollinator networks more likely to transmit disease? Flower mixes should consider disease transmission! Plant-pollinator network reveals that node degree doesn't mean more parasites - maybe morphological differences! #StudentForum23

Great work on co-stressors @thebeemumbler @richjgill @PeterGraystock! With climate change, we can anticipate more temperature extremes, and both high and low temperature extremes can reduce the ability of bumblebees to cope with insecticide exposure.👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
