"10yrs ago when I gave lectures to students they would be shocked & upset & they would be like 'what can we do?' & now they are saying to us lecturers... 'what are you doing about it? You can't just tell us this stuff... What are you doing to effect change?' "- Jon Bridle

I was very lucky to play a small role in this project during my undergrad and I'm pleased to share that it has been published by British Ecological Society - keep an eye out for all the nematode bits...

Having a brilliant time Biology of Butterflies - Prague 2023 - great discussions with some very smart people!

The first of many - hopefully… Currently undertaking fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon and learning a huge amount. What an incredible privilege this is.
