Getting to know my cohort and learning some very important transferable skills somewhere new to me (Cheltenham) 😃 intense at times but intimately fun. Just like a PhD is supposed to be right? I hope so!

My favourite bird and one that I deeply care about. Because of this, I continue to do a range of efforts to highlight this species vulnerability to extinction by hurricanes (this being one of such). I sincerely hope to see this bird again one in future #ornithology

This blog from Tim Chamberlain illustrates an incredible day spent climbing up a ~40m tree to be in awe at the canopy that lay above. This took place at Cusuco National Park, Honduras, during 2024 expedition with Operation Wallacea. Curious? Read here: www.timctree.co.uk/blog/blog-ho...

Nice bit of recognition for my talk at @unibirmingham.bsky.social Research Showcase 2024 event this week. Won best PhD talk (with Bahama Warbler and Bahama Nuthatch story). Learned about my peers' research, met new people and reconnected with old faces. Joy!
