Just finished my second lecture on #amphibians - this time with the first year students 🐸
I'm starting to become more confident with lecturing, and the students seemed very interested in Tiktaalik! #Herpetology
Hi, of course! Added you :)

Just returned from a fantastic weekend at the ARC-BHS Joint Scientific Meeting.
All of the talks were incredible - looking forward to the next one! #Herpetology 🐍
That's a great way to look at it. Although I did stumble a lot more than I would in a normal conversation haha. Hoping the nerves eventually go away!
I'm pretty sure the universe is against me saving money.. my corn snake does need a new vivarium though.
Of course, added you 😁

I delivered my first ever lecture today on UK amphibian conservation & habitat management to the third year students 🐸
I definitely stumbled over my words a few times 🙈 but two students came up to me after and said it was a really interesting lecture! #amphibians
Ofc, added you! 😁
Hi, added both! 😁
Vipera berus in England

Chameleons are my favourite 🥹 This one is beautiful!
Wooo, added you! 😁
Sarah holds up a calendar covered in iridescent silver/rainbow stickers. The top says "Frog Facts" and there are 7 frogs and toads on the calendar including a bullfrog, wood frog, and suriname toad in the water, a poison dart frog and leopard frog on land, and two kinds of tree frogs in the tree.
I did some math in August & noticed that if we sell 5000 advent calendars, I can fund @skypeascientist.bsky.social 2025 without getting any grants. I wrote grants anyway, but I wanted some backup!
So far, 0 grants for 2025.
BUT!
We've sold 2,183 calendars!!
1/2 way funded!

Read all about how character displacement could play out in real time in the wild!

A photo of a pin from Merck in the shape of a titration flask. The flask looks like it has purple glittery liquid inside and has the words "magic inside" written on the front.
Just came home to my first ever Merck pin for my lab coat! 🥼
I'm still hoping I get the Halloween bat pin #merckpins
