Thrilled to announce version 2.0 of my poster featuring some of Madagascar's endemic frog species, to scale! This version features 176 species—40 more than version 1.1 (now retired)! Check it out! 🐸🧪 www.redbubble.com/i/poster/Som...

The poster features 176 species of frog from Madagascar, to scale. The biggest species are over 100 mm, the smallest are under 10 mm. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and colours. So many variations on the theme of frog!

Reminder that what your child is interested in at the age of six could well foreshadow their entire career path. It did mine, at least. 🧪🦎

The childhood drawings of yours truly at the age of six featuring a badly drawn tree with fairly well drawn snake crawling up it, and two, one big and one small, looking at it. Above, childish handwriting reads 'Granddad and I go on safari int he back yard.'

The childish drawings of yours truly at the age of six. It features a relatively abstract tree with a person with an obnoxiously long nose drawn to the side of it, with what must be a lizard in hand, for above the caption reads 'We like catching lizzards.'

The big 4 of grant writing: 1. Credibility: The topic fits your expertise 2. Narrative: It's clear what is the problem, the solution, and why you’re the right person for it 3. Juicy details: Flex your mastery of the topic 4. The concept: You connect every part to the big question

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

Good piece by @natureportfolio.bsky.social. The erosion of thinking time—driven by admin, bureaucracy, industry agendas, and unrealistic output targets—stifles curiosity-led science. These pressures undermine innovation and the intellectual freedom vital for real progress. 🧪🌱🌍 #ScienceIsNotBusiness

Hi, I am Shubham, an ecologist and herpetologist interested in broadscale ecology and behaviours that underlie the evolution of species. I am also interested in function and evolution of COLOURS. My research is heavily inspired by Natural History & I love herps and sometimes photograph them too :)
