There is filming outside and there is filming inside!! #LucaOnTour is hotting up! I’ve been tagging along, I’ve seen bees, I’ve seen microscopes, I’m learning about fungal pathogens! I’m on the @Rothamsted PhD official science of #feedingthecrops tour #carrotlife🥕
Super excited for Day 3 of #LucaOnTour @Rothamsted! 🌱🐝🔬🌾

As my PhD at @Rothamsted and @UniRdg_SAPD comes to an end it was nice to be recognised at the @Rothamsted Leavers Ceremony as the winner of the Fellowes Award for being the "most interesting student to work with"!

Great to hear Daniel Potter @universityofky talk again at #ECE2018 about the pest ecology of Japanese Beetles following his fascinating lecture @Rothamsted a few weeks ago! #beetlelife #sciencelife #naples @RresStudents – at Naples, Campania

Without a doubt, my favourite experiment is @SamCook_IPM 's work making different coloured OSR plants. 'Low tech' science doesn't equal low impact science!

"I firmly believe conservation biological control is the future" @SamCook_IPM It's always reassuring to hear this opinion vocalised, especially when it's a large element of my own #carrotlife🥕 work! teapawt.net/hmcgrath93/status/1006…
I feel like I've been here before!! My excitement remains undiminished to hear @SamCook_IPM speak about IPM in Oil Seed Rape.

Brilliant @BBCNews feature estimating the no. of animals born each day... #honeybee queens can lay up to 1500 eggs per day!🐝... BUT lets not forget the humble #nematode with only "600 quintillion nematodes born per day" 🤣#SciComm #PhDlife @rresstudents bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

One of the best things about working at @Rothamsted is working with others. It was so great to share the creative process, especially since @D_Garrett_Ento is just as much of a perfectionist as I am! @RresStudents #phdlife #teamwork #creative #art #drawing #scicomm #perfection
