NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.
Found these girls carving up a mushroom in the dead of night. I've not seen Atta using fungi to feed their crop fungus before, is this normal behaviour? @LivWalthaus @EvoBiomech @fabian_plum
New paper, hot off the press! If you are interested in muscle, like dimensional arguments, scaling, and a bit of comparative biomechanics, this one hopefully has something in it for you! 1/n pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
New paper, hot off the press @RSocPublishing We studied the interaction between task preferences and biomechanical development in young social insects – work led by Freddie Pueffel, in collaboration with @DrRichJohnston and @rocesflavio, supported by @HFSP & @ERC_Research 1/n
New paper, hot off the press! We study the relation between bite force & mandibular opening angle in insects. Ever tried to bite off more than you can chew? You are not alone. Work led by Freddie Pueffel, collab with @DrRichJohnston, and supported by @HFSP & @ERC_Research 🧵1/n
A hugely important thread by @imperialcollege The recognition of racial violence and discrimination outside campus is essential to improve the lives of minority ethnic students. In order to fix our academic bubbles, we must address and challenge all forms of systemic racism. 👇🏾
While we celebrate the accomplishments of Black people during Black History Month, it's also important to acknowledge the lived experiences of Black communities. Systemic racism is a real and pervasive part of society. Take a moment to reflect with us ⬇️
Working for inclusion and diversity is an ungrateful job. Progress is slow, money is scarce, and hopes and dreams are often wrapped in admin tape. The people I advocate for, and the ones that stand by me in this fight, are the true inspiration and future of academia.
Join us 16th of May to hear more about the James West scholarship from me, and the people who've made it possible. Please share and retweet! 🤝🏾 eventbrite.co.uk/e/james-west-s…
We did it!! Imperial bioeng's first PhD scholarship for students of African heritage.
We're pleased to announce the Department of Bioengineering's James West Scholarships scheme. Each academic year, we'll provide three fully-funded scholarships for Black and Mixed Black Heritage PhD students. Find out more on our website 👇🏿#JWScholar 🔗imperial.ac.uk/james-west-sch…
First paper "The physical properties of the stick insect pad secretion are independent of body size" is available on the BioRxiv! @EvoBiomech @MariaKaimaki

New open access paper out on the wonderful Gnat Ogre (Holcocephala fusca), with @FlySy_Lab, in @J_Exp_Biol . In it, you can find out how these tiny killers deal with physical obstacles on their way to hunt lunch on the wing. 1/6
Tonight northern newspapers have joined together to send a levelling up message to @michaelgove Babies born in many areas of the north in 2022 simply don't have the same life chances as those born elsewhere. It isn't fair. #TomorrowsPapersToday
It is now time to call upon UK institutions to widen their participation, scholarship programs and mentoring schemes to push on the ever stagnating figures of Black representation. Thanks @AlannahFrancis1 @theipaper for the feature. inews.co.uk/news/education…
Absolutely loved presenting my first ever poster, meeting lots of wonderful people and sharing it all with the best labmates! #SICB2022 🌵
Extreme happiness for the publication of my PhD work on the extreme suction attachment of net-winged midge larvae 🥳🙌🙌 (tinyurl.com/insectsuckers). Want to learn more about this strange insect and what went on behind the scenes? Read on! 1/n
Today's the day! Join us at 5:30 for what promises to be a thought provoking event! A huge thanks to our amazing host @AndreaELAttipoe and our panellists @silkiecarlo and @princesssaraheq Very excited 🥳
From @LivWalthaus's initiative, I am thrilled to host a screening of @CodedBias as part of #BlackHistoryMonth . Join me, @princesssaraheq (@imperialasone) and @silkiecarlo (@BigBrotherWatch) for a conversation about A.I., race, bias, and the police.
With blackness beer and pizza, my Togolese Belgian and Italian sides are all pleased! Come Friday 29th Oct 5PM, and join the conversation! pic.twitter.com/TU0aSXm1aG
