I went into my #PhD #Viva yesterday expecting a colonoscopy 🔬... It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and passed with minor corrections! Turns out it's actually fun to talk about the last 4 years of your life 😂

A few hours ago, Adobe released Firefly 2, their new AI image generator. But how good is it? I compared it to Midjourney & DALL-E 3 across 10 very different image categories so you don't have to. Here are the results:

Does anyone use a tablet/ereader for reading research papers? If so, which do you use and why? Dislike printing reems of papers but reading from the monitor doesn't feel the same! Seen many adverts for the new ReMarkable which seems good? #AcademicChatter #ecofriendly

As part of my research I kill a fair number of #insect... But I still feel bad mowing the grass! Been a month since I last cut it and loved watching the #bees 🐝. Feeling guilty as loads of critters are trying to escape and I don't think this #moth made it... Look it's waving! 😭

The early ant colony catches the caterpillar? The late larvae falls to the ant colony? Must be a snappier title/saying out there 🤔 🐜🐜🐛🐜🐜 #InsectWeek23

Can deliver dsRNA by feeding as well as injection with similar effects and biosafety. Venom peptides from parasitoids are also potential biopesticides! Can enhance insecticidal effects of BT and reduce survival of pests.

Not usually a fan of #graffiti but loving the #entomology #artwork near our new home! Featuring a #ladybug, #spider and #butterfly. The other side is less lovely 😂
