Good luck to Prospect members on strike today. We stand with you #ProspectStrike ✊ RT to show solidarity with public sector workers 🤝
🆕 The 2022 Annual Report for Natural England's Agri-environment evidence programme has been published, summarising 12 peer-reviewed projects evaluating aspects of Agri-Environment Schemes (AES) in England. You can view the report ➡️ nepubprod.appspot.com/publication/62…
@TomAugust85 Hmm. I think they're on strike. Monitor picket.
Great to see #pollinators trending on New Scientist! My pollinators and #climatechange commentary seems to have struck a chord @newscientist @pelagicpublish newscientist.com/article/mg2493…
Thank you so much for this! What's really beautiful about it is the delight. Oh, and the number of birds of course.
Hey students: register to vote at your home and uni addresses before 26 Nov, then vote at one of these places on 12 Dec: gov.uk/register-to-vo… Everyone else: read the Government's advice at gov.uk/electoral-regi… and start encouraging people to register
@ezattara @MethodsEcolEvol @CAER_Reading @CEHScienceNews @LeedsEcoEvo @bwars2000 Thanks Ed! You might also like the 'sister' paper : researchgate.net/publication/33…
Thrilled to see this out there in @MethodsEcolEvol. Huge thanks to team @CAER_Reading @CEHScienceNews @LeedsEcoEvo @bwars2000 + others.
@CEHScienceNews @CAER_Reading @UniversityLeeds @DefraGovUK @WelshGovernment @NERCscience @BBSRC @CEHPaperAlerts @DefraNature @rorscon and @PoMScheme partners show how pan traps sample more species than transects but suggest combined methods may be needed to track insect and habitat changes through time
Our paper on results from the @PoMScheme pilot study is out! Timed #FITcounts and transects by volunteers matched those of research staff, with transects done by experts @bwars2000 nearly matching pan traps doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…
Opening day of @DefraGovUK #BeesNeedsWeek & the #ReadingBeeTeam are here showing off the #Bumblearium, a whole host of cool specimens & seeing how pollinator dependent our diets are! @UniofReading @UniRdg_SAPD @CAER_Reading
Why not come and work part time in the David Attenborough Building, Cambridge, as my right hand person organising (and being author of) our annual horizon scan, editing the Conservation Evidence journal and helping try to improve the planet? bit.ly/2LMQFwz

Here's a super 3 year post-doc job opportunity with Prof Juliet Osborne, Uni of Exeter, working on the impact of Asian hornets on wild #bees and honey bees. jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecrui… #beesneeds
These Chalk Hill Blues at Denbies Hillside during today's lunch stop were my 50th UK butterfly species of 2018! A trivial achievement perhaps, but seeking out these butterflies has been a welcome distraction during a summer overshadowed by stress and grief #ukbutterflies
Kyra has a bit of a freak-out when she sees her reflection in the camera. Poor girl. Don't worry, a few moments later she settled down on the eggs as if nothing had happened.
Come and meet the BES Policy Fellows. Here we have a multi tasking @deepasena giving an interview whilst on the stand waiting to take your questions #N4FG18
I’m looking for someone exceptional to be my media officer in Parliament. If you thrive under pressure, write like a dream and think you fit the bill, please apply: greenparty.org.uk/jobs/
It's just been calculated that Journal of Pollination Ecology's Impact Factor for 2017 is 1.93, which is not too shabby for such a young journal. It's open access and free, so please consider submitting your research to it #pollinators #bees pollinationecology.org/index.php?jour…
PhD studentship. New tools for improving bee health - assessing multiple pressures on a range of bee species to reduce negative impacts. #bees #beehealth @poshbee_eu findaphd.com/?pj=97896
