New favourite lab presentation: inspired by a paper related to her MSc work and some very dubious clipart, Eliza summarised frog secretion scents. I'd not anticipated frogs would smell like a hint of electrical fire, but here we are 👃🐸🔥

Beyond proud to be associated with this publication. I got to support my academic bestie Caroline Dong, who is capable, intelligent, patient and inclusive, and we were able to add a touch of personality into scientific research, which does not make us any less professional.

A brilliant and colourful plenary talk by Devi Stuart-Fox 🦋 #Behaviour2023

Meanwhile, I've left a treasure at Laura Bibiana Ospina-Rozo (she/her) 🇨🇴's desk 💚🪲😘

I've commandeered the Professor's office whilst she galivants about Europe (attends a conference). Found this treasure under her monitor 😊

The Professor and I decided to formalise our pinning skills. My beetle was definitely less cooperative, but they came out framing up great!
