Do you or your promising undergrad/Master's student have an interest in mathematical modelling, parasitology, sustainable agriculture, with great opportunities for knowledge exchange? Then look at this PhD project with @daveewing.bsky.social and us folks at Moredun! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Ugh, the BSP conference clashes with our girl’s birthday. There’s always WAAVP though…which clashes with our son’s birthday 😭 Reckon I can swap a in short research talk for the traditional treasure hunt/pass the parcel/beat the crap out of dads with balloons?

Heading into Edinburgh for the @bioss.bsky.social annual meeting and looking forward to an afternoon of having my head exploded by mathematical models and proper stats by people who really aren’t just messing around!

Do you or your promising undergrad/MSc student fancy a PhD involving fun fieldwork, evolutionary theory and one of the best evo eco data sets out there? Then look no further than this one looking at the role of maternal effects in evolution in @SoaySheep! e4-dtp.ed.ac.uk/e5-dtp/super...
