For UK-based ecologists submitting a #stableisotopeecology application to the National Environmental Isotope Facility, please get in touch with your ideas - stableisotopelab.com/people The next deadline will be 26th March 2025. More details see www.isotopesuk.org/apply.html

Excited to share that SUERC has successfully renewed its Athena SWAN Bronze Award from @advancehe.bsky.social This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing gender equality and fostering an inclusive environment for all at the Centre.

Stoked this is published! Collect feathers > chop into tiny pieces > set them on fire > measure the gasses. Now just need to learn multi-isotope isoscapes. Thank you Tilly for the cute summary swift! Follow @tillysscott.bsky.social if you haven’t already for cool science & more super SciComm & art!

A very exciting PhD on the ecological implications of divergence & adaption to warm water habitats in 3-spined sticklebacks combining field work in Iceland, mesocosms, tank studies & lab-work in the UK. Great team, lots of exciting ideas and techniques to test them. iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships...

A fun Friday morning with Mark Simmons at Perth Museum and Art Gallery, Perth & Kinross, extracting a pangolin scale

Had a fantastic time viewing and sampling the pangolins at the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre with Robyn and Laurence. This is an excellent resource, well worth a visit
