- In honour of "Postdoc Appreciation Week", a plug for a paper I was involved in 5 years ago (w/ @bjmjarrett.bsky.social, @muriellealund.bsky.social and others) in which we highlighted how academia could better support postdocs. There is much here that remains relevant! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

- We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.
- I would be very interested to see the feasibility studies behind this, particularly habitat suitability assessments. You can't tell me the UK is a more suitable place for elk now than it was 3000 years ago..?! www.countryfile.com/wildlife/elk...
- We already have an out of control deer population in the UK which is having an enormous detrimental impact on our woodland habitats. Adding elk into that situation is ridiculous, short sighted, an inappropriate use of resources and potentially habitat damaging to a level greater than current.

- 🧵1/7 What do massive insect crashes mean for insectivorous birds? And can aquatic habitats help? Today at #BOU2025 I'm exploring how aquatic habitats might help to buffer declining insectivore populations, using the Spotted Flycatcher as an example. #ornithology
