- First publication! 🥳 Very excited that my Master’s research project from @royalholloway.bsky.social is out in @ecol-evol.bsky.social this week. Big thank you to @sjportugal.bsky.social for all the support from start to finish. Please don’t come for me Britney…
- New paper out today in Ecology and Evolution! Link below. Congrats PhD student @smthmpsn.bsky.social, on your first paper. All about how wild birds learn to avoid a novel aposematic warning signal. And a nice nod to Britney Spears in the paper title.
- Reposted by Sam ThompsonNice to welcome my new DPhil students with an evening at St Hugh’s College. Welcome Gayatri Kumar, @smthmpsn.bsky.social and @ghtrabin.bsky.social. The White Stork was not part of the formal evening, but I was pleased to see it and grab a photo earlier in the week.
- My first go at a pigeon release. Just 10 mins and they’ll be back home. I like to tell myself they won’t take off unless I give them a verbal instruction. The jury’s still out on whether or not that’s true… Thanks @ghtrabin.bsky.social for showing me the ropes!
