Completed my PhD thesis in December working on #phthalate impact on #bee health and development at UMons (BE) and ULille (FR) 🐝 I'm now seeking new post-doc opportunities in insect ecotoxicology and stress ecology !
Responsible publication of your research!
To help you do this @nicolasgaltier.bsky.social and coauthors have put together a handy database of academia-friendly journals, DAFNEE. You can read about it in their article recently published in @jevbio.bsky.social:

🔥 The Omnibus proposal frames unlimited approval as administrative simplification. In reality, it removes a fundamental public health & environmental protection mechanism.
📢 We urge the @europarl.europa.eu & @consilium.europa.eu to oppose and reject this proposal: www.pan-europe.info/sites/pan-eu...
The @ec.europa.eu's planned abolition of #pesticide protection standards is unlawful. This is shown by a legal opinion published today.

📢NEW PAPER OUT! We investigated the short-term impact of exposure to field-realistic doses of phthalates DnBP and DEHP on the survival of Bombus terrestris workers 🐝

Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all.
“The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists”
"Across the 1705 papers, the effect of new vs. old pesticides was similar [...] There was, therefore, limited evidence that the negative environmental impact of pesticides on wider biodiversity has been reduced by the development and authorisation of novel active ingredients and formulations".
ATTENTION ECOTOX PEOPLE: We wrote a primer on bee and pesticide science! Specifically written to be an accessible short guide for post / undergrads. It explains all the basic lingo and concepts in simple language. A great resource for the community! @darastanley.bsky.social

🐝 Introducing the first #WildPoshSpecies: Bombus terrestris!
A curious fact is that individuals learn to visit unfamiliar but rewarding flowers faster when they observe another member of their species foraging on the same type of flower.
