An epic-length interview in which I talk at length about insect declines and their solutions, pesticides, rewilding, societal collapse and more with @AaronBastani of @novaramedia youtube.com/watch?v=LR32Ns…


As a scientist I can confirm this is utter nonsense !

NEW: Conservatives are safeguarding scientific research from the denial of biology and the steady creep of political correctness. @michelledonelan announces plans to depoliticise science at #CPC23

This parliamentary term is on track to be by far the worst for living standards since the 1950s. Typical working age household incomes are on course to be 4% lower in 2024-25 than they were in 2019-20. Never in living memory have families got so much poorer over a parliament.

Back from teaching on an excellent tropical marine field course with @Uni_of_Essex in Baubau, Indonesia. Students loved diving on coral reefs, beach cleans and research projects! Lots of exciting sightings of sharks, rays, sea turtles, more sharks.. @EssexLifeSci @opwall

🚨 Yet another Gov #AttackOnNature? The third in as many days? @DefraGovUK please say it’s not true that the Government is going to break another promise and scrap the new scheme that supports nature friendly farming? 1/14

⚠️😡Make no mistake, we are angry. This Government has today launched an attack on nature. We don’t use the words that follow lightly. We are entering uncharted territory. Please read this thread. 1/13

Great to be part of this global project on plant-pollinator interactions and see it published. Looking forward to seeing how our dataset of interactions will be used in future! 🌷🦟

During the #COVID19 #lockdown a group of pollination #ecologists from 15 countries collected data on plant & #pollinators in their own #gardens. The resulting data set of 47,000 flower visits has just been published in @JPE12328968 Read more here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2022/07/27/pol… #bees
