Beginning around 1935, African clawed #frogs (Xenopus laevis) were used as early human pregnancy tests. This activity contributed towards the global spread of #chytrid causing frog extinctions today. Read more at researchgate.net/publication… #FrogFriday becoming #FossilFriday #scicomm

The purpose of a PhD should not be training for *one* specific job. The purpose of a PhD should be to develop problem solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills as preparation for *any* job. #PhDchat

Anyone recognise this packaging? I can make out the letters ANT and RE (possibly another E?). Any help is appreciated. Help me work out what #plastics are polluting the #RiverThames. . @London_NERC_DTP @NHM_London @RHULBioSci #plasticpollution #microplastics #turnofftheplastictap

A glorious early start to the first full day of the @SotonEnvSci residential field course #envs1007 Today on the agenda: how to clean a beach using the @mcsuk method and then learning about beach management. One of my favourite days!

The global loss of #amphibians due to #chytrid fungus is MUCH worse than thought! An int'l collaboration of biologists led by @BenCScheele finally did the math. Here's a video summary: youtu.be/xJme6rIBYys and here's the paper: science.sciencemag.org/conte… @sciencemagazine #scicomm
