Cambridgeshire Council want to close the school in my village 😔 so many worried children and local stakeholders. Sign the petition change.org/p/save-great-g…

This school did great things for my son, @HarrisonWDavis It would be a travesty to see it close. If you feel inclined and believe in good education and learning environments, please sign the petition below. Thanks!

Please help save our beautiful school. ❤️🙏



Super tour around @TestLabs_UK for @UCPeterborough to see their modern facilities and learn about exciting #infectionprevention #research. Inspired by the enthusiastic, multi-disciplinary team bringing together #STEM fields to create a fantastic, progressive lab in the city.

"If you have the right mindset and the right commitment then you can achieve anything. The skills can be learnt along the way." We're thrilled to welcome @UCPeterborough student to show them what we do & what their future in the industry could look like. #STEMeducation #edchat

I’m very excited to share our new paper, in @PNASNews! We studied the monkeys on @CayoSantiagoPR and found that exposure to a severe hurricane accelerated aging at the molecular level by 2 years (7-8y in humans). pnas.org/content/119/8/… Details👇 🧵1/8


The relative scientific neglect of #toxocara #cati in relation to #canis raises questions about what assumptions we may be making and clues we are missing about the #epidemiology of #toxocariasis

Fantastic detail in this life-cycle figure of #toxocara #canis, sister species to #toxocara #cati which shares many of the same transmission and migration routes leading to #toxocariasis in humans @TrendsParasitol

Very proud to be part of this work with @zamanian_ and Co. I had the freedom to adapt so many new and exciting technologies for B. malayi, it was an absolute dream.

Hi @MoDubs11 nice seeing your happy face at the @JnlParasitology webinar just now, and thanks for the great social media pointers #parasite #socialmediatips #earlycareerscientist

The Wren's Breath I had a vision of this photograph about 3 weeks ago and this morning after a lot of effort all the relevant bits came together and I finally managed to photograph a wren's breath Canon R5 and Canon 800mm L

My friend bought a scrying mirror (commonly used in the occult for predicting the future) and walked in to see his black cat standing on two legs and staring into it...

Our #MondayMammal is the water #shrew! #FunFact Shrews need to consume 200-300% of their body weight in food each day ... but that's not all, they also have red-tipped teeth 🤯. For more about this cool #mammal, visit our Mammal Hub 👉 ow.ly/W7Go50EbkFO #DYK #Fact

Hammering the PhD thesis this week during a 3-day thesis “boot camp”, 2000 new words done so far and rising #BristolTBC #phdlife

Good morning to all the #BristolPGRs who are taking part in this week's virtual #ThesisBootCamp! We hope you have a productive time — and that you enjoy the relaxing breaks. ✍️🧘 💬 Tell us how it's going using #BristolTBC.

This is a special treat!

Did you ever want to become part of the electron transport chain? Well now you can! I created this face filter so now you can wear ATP synthase like a hat. Facebook filter: tiny.cc/fbatpsynthase Instagram filter: tiny.cc/igatpsythase



So now Peterborough is known for 1) being home to Catherine of Aragon’s remains, 2) comparatively low levels of Covid19, and 3) more McDonald’s than anywhere else in the UK #peterborough #mccapitalofbritian #McDonalds

We are reopening 39 Drive Thru lanes across the UK and ROI. These Drive Thru pilot restaurants were all chosen as they are close to one of our distribution centres as we continue to prepare our supply chain for reopening.

It was only a matter of time... today both my ginger cat and my 2 year old son both featured in my online lecture. My 32 Biology students were treated to a happy rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 👩‍🏫👶🐱✨#workingfromhome #selfdistancing #workingmum


Watching Contagion on the TV, scarily similar to what we are dealing with right now, but they've forgotten to include the bit where everyone rushes out to inexplicably panic buy bales of toilet paper #contagionmovie #pandemic #toiletroll #COVID19


Rare footage of 'my' parasite Toxocara cati having a good wiggle about.

This is Toxocara cati, the cat roundworm, so far we have detected it in soil samples from New York, Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi. It is likely throughout the USA and can cause blindness, asthma, and cognitive delays in infected humans.
