The new bTB strategy is published! Key points: (1) most cattle get TB from other cattle, so most recommendations target cattle; (2) cattle vaccine rollout by 2030; (3) farmers & vets empowered to improve cattle testing; (4) badger vaccination in priority areas & an end to badger culling

📖 Yellow fever outbreak temporarily changes dispersal patterns in an endangered primate These results indicate a spatial rearrangement of individuals during the outbreak potentially due to non-random mortality leading to changes in social group structure🐵 🧪 🦠 🔎 buff.ly/ioA0767

📢 New research out: yellow fever in Brazil badly affected annual survival of golden lion tamarins 🐒 and temporarily changed their dispersal patterns, likely through non-random mortality and spatial rearrangement of social groups. 👉 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Exciting new data on movement strategies of high-Andean bird pollinators, using a novel radio telemetry grid system in a challenging and complex environment! Amazing work by @cristinaruedau.bsky.social. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

After over 19 years, I have left the University of Aberdeen. Sad to leave some great colleagues there but excited to explore new challenges and opportunities. Open to suggestions - get in touch 😊

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it. Join us and let's make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk
Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

Completely agree. It hugely reduces the value of the substantial time invested in reviewing grants. Just been on German and Portuguese panels, and many of best proposals were resubmissions, some improved massively following revisions based on reviewers comments.

Happy to be part of this effort led by CrisRuedas and the caminos network, which has just been published today. In it we review what has been done on pollination research in the tropical Andes and propose new lines of research. Pollination onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The transphobe position being expressed here is that autism sometimes causes people to falsely believe they are trans and that it's impossible to be both trans and autistic. This is of course false and is just another excuse to assert state dominance over trans lives.

Right now in the UK being an ally or comrade to trans people will mean being willing to challenge and upset various people in your workplace, your sports club, the various institutions you are part of. Despairing or posting solidarity on social media won't help without also doing the hard stuff.
