It’s the last day of my fav week - #BatWeek!I’ve been making bat-shaped cyanotypes & cookies, and obvs dressed up as an anatomically correct pipistrelle for #halloween. I’ve also been doing @BatsinChurches training as part of my aim to become an active bat group member again!
Fab first event with @TrustLinksLtd. Sun was shining (regretted wearing thermals!) and it was great to see so many people enjoying the orchard!

Lovely afternoon at St Laurence Orchard for #AppleDay @TrustLinksLtd - a historic site first planted in 1920 and leased to war veterans to overcome trauma and gain new skills. Well done to all involved @C_Ravinet #Southend #Essex
This hyena in Kruger National Park had both ears missing. Any ideas what would have caused this? Other hyenas? Lions? #kruger #hyena #behaviouralecology #askascientist #ecology #biology
Science teachers - what do you call a graph that has quantitative, continuous data on both axes? Is it a scatter graph or a line graph? What's the difference? #edchat #ukedchat #chatbiology #scied #scichat
Looking forward to the #BigQuestion Lecture about to start at @CentreoftheCell Is the air we breathe our hidden enemy?
🚨“If you've got one shred of compassion for all those families who sacrificed so much, who lost so much, you’ll go”🚨
Looking forward to taking part in #RSBConnect later on this morning! I'll be speaking with @TheCrick 's Education team, discussing how we transformed some of our in-person activities into digital ones during the pandemic
Super proud of my friends and their awesome beer! They’re having issues with their Instagram at the moment, but when it’s back up and running, give them a follow on @endangeredbrewing And buy some beer too!

I love this! The beer cans are beautifully adorned with an African wild dog and the Pangolin - the Co's mission is to remove the pictures when the animals are no longer a vulnerable species - every beer you buy helps the conservation effort - brilliant . endangeredbrewing.com

Incredible that the 1st dose of the #OxfordVaccine was given 1 year ago on April 23rd. Fascinating to hear how scientists have been preparing for 'disease X', the unknown disease, allowing them to develop a vaccine so quickly #DayofImmunology

Happy #DayofImmunology! What a year to #CelebrateVaccines and our amazing immune system. I’m celebrating by attending a panel discussion on vaccines by @TheCrick. Some really important topics being covered e.g. how vaccines help others not just yourself.
