Personal travel after an amazing #2023SFS #FreshwaterDownunder Highlight so far has been a full day @AustraliaZoo! Absolutely 'chuffed' to see @RobertIrwin, then get to shake his hand after the show 🐊 We share the middle name Clarence, so we're basically best friends now 😄

Sounds like an awesome opportunity with an awesome postdoc!! 😀
Do you teach quantitative skills in a biological context? Would you be willing to share your perspectives on quantitative skills and how you incorporate these skills into your course(s)? (1/3) #AcademicTwitter #Research #Biology #education

ALERT: self described native fish fiend!!! Does anyone know of open grad school opportunities?
Feeling a bit disheartened in my search for graduate programs and future positions. Responses have been low, but I’m still hopeful the right people will see this crazy native fish fiend is out there. Currently missing field work and teaching, can’t wait for warmer weather.

I wanted to show an undergraduate mentee how cool net-spinning caddisflies (Hydropsychidae) are, and dug up this gem! Thanks @DewiRoberts77 for the awesome footage :)
I filmed some more net-spinning caddisflies yesterday - this time on the lovely Rheidol, Ceredigion. #Hydropsyche #Trichoptera. These were filmed in real time - slow motion footage to follow

If one of your bucket list items was to watch Hydropsyche fimbriata, one of New Zealand’s endemic net-spinning caddisflies collecting freshly caught food from its net, then job done ✅
