Do you have knowledge or expertise in taxonomic groups found in the UK’s uplands? I’m looking for naturalists to contribute to autecological analysis as part of a #biodiversity audit assessing impacts of land-use change across eight of northern England’s protected landscapes 1/4

Had a great time at a 6th form STEM conference last week talking to students from Folkestone and Dover grammar schools about my career path from A-Level to now!

A bit daunting when I realised quite how many people were in the audience, especially as I was talking about career plans changing due to chronic illness. I wrote it with my past-self in mind, so hopefully it will help some students in a similar position.

The audit was carried out by the UEA audit team: @PaulDolman3, @j_gilroy1, @LPCrowther & myself. With input from @N_Rivers_Trust, @norfolkponds and local landowners. Funded by the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) scheme, facilitated by @NorfolkCC & River Mun Cluster Group.

Just come back to my flat after visiting family over the festive season and found this brilliant looking guy inside. Best I can tell from a bit of googling it’s a Leptoglossus occidentalis - Western Conifer Seed Bug. Not sure if it’s a local or come in via a Christmas tree…

For now it’ll live in one of the lizard’s spare bug pots until I figure out whether to freeze or release the little critter

Hello world! As someone chronically online, a work twitter account was inevitable. The aim is to post about my work, network with others working in ecology and broaden my knowledge base. The following is a little 'about me' thread, as empty feeds + new accounts look suspicious

I have been based at UEA for 8 months now. I work as a research associate for the biodiversity audit of North Norfolk. This is my first research position!
