It is a fantastic book, it really is. The topics within it should be discussed widely at universities

Thank you Maisie. Really appreciate coming from you! Yes SCCS again would be magical! Next for me is BES Macro this July, then later in the year I'll think about the possibility of BES annual (never been before)

I've been told similar last year actually. Flies are cool indeed, Drosophila my favourite. What's your favourite fly?

Wooo hemiptera, I still remember invertebrate orders from my undergrad. Since then Assassin bugs have been my favourite of that order

Wow! What is it? I'm not entomologist, I'm ornithologist although love all nature. Looks quite menacing with those spikes at the back.

Amazing! I was in Cusuco last year and must say invertebrates there are out of this world! It's very much like being part of an Attenborough documentary, except that you see these amazing invertebrates of various shapes and sizes with your own eyes!

Lovely stuff! Perhaps one day I'll comeback to Cusuco. Invertebrates there are out of this world. It's like being in an Attenborough documentary, except you're there!

So far so good James. Enjoying PhD and recently booked a holiday to Romania to catch up with a birding friend and visit Danube Delta (maybe even sees pelican species), then also going to Moldova for one day birding. If you've ever been let's me know how birding is in those places :)

Lbejle I had the pleasure of meeting during Cusuco 2024 season 😃. Amazing place with amazing people to work with and live with 🇭🇳. I've known Tom since 2022 when he joined Bangor uni. We met and the day after began collaborating on a study 😆. He's since then become one of my PhD supervisors

Good to see Tom and Libelje (only ones I know personally). Cool to see research between the lab and opwall is going strong!

I read your book, found it insightful and it resonated with many things I think or felt, so I decided to follow you. No other reason

Yep, already going through those motions and only just started a PhD. Have read your book thought and it's incredibly insightful! I now know a lot more what to expect for the next 3.5 years at least

Mine is full of cats at the moment haha. I said I like animals but not specifically cats so guessing these furry pets are widely popular here
