Very pleased to see our latest paper out on systemic analysis of lipid metabolism from individuals to multi-organism systems! @chickpeaman @SamuelFurse @sotonbiosci

Very proud to be back in my @UniofNewcastle gown but this time seeing my own students graduate from @sotonbiosci 🫶 Twas a lovely celebration of our students 🎓🎓🎓
🫶 a great meeting. And four generations - one my my PhD students, myself, my PhD supervisor, and her PhD supervisor all in one room!
Thanks to all participants and speakers for this wonderful #nutrition #homeostasis conference @UniBonn - still going on ... 😀

Has been great to be back in Bonn for the Nutritional Homeostasis meeting, talking about our pollinator nutrient balancing research @sotonbiosci
Laser pointers have never been my thing 😅
There’s still plenty of time to apply for fully funded PhD positions on the excellent doctoral training @SoCoBioDtp here at @sotonbiosci. Join us in the plants and food security group! Deadline for applications 8th Jan 2024.

I am also pleased to announce an INSPIRE DTP studentship @sotonbiosci where we aim to understand the broader implications of habitat/nutritional loss on pollinator-organism interactions:

Very pleased that applications are now welcome for @SoCoBioDtp - We have a project aiming to understand the role of sugar transporters in plants and their importance for crop pollination success. With @CalaCastellanos and Lorraine Williams @sotonbiosci

Humour is essential. At complete exhaustion we tried to refine the most important things to think about in managing a project. We came up with the three P’s. None of it makes any sense. Grad students still use it. I still use it. Think, plan, shop, prepare!
Say what? The principal investigators who pass down wisdom through humour go.nature.com/3Neig8h

A second fully funded PhD studentship in my group at @sotonbiosci aims to understand the mechanisms of nutrient allocation to nectar and pollen during plant domestication and crop breeding!

I have two exciting PhD opportunities (funded for UK students) available in my lab at @sotonbiosci - First one aims to understand the interaction between macronutrients and immune function in bees!

First spot of a sunbathing bee fly this year. Fascinating animals. Both pollinator and parasitoid in one lifecycle.

Can you spot the rogue honeybee swarm? They’ve picked a tree in @UniofOxford University Parks to call home. Spring has sprung!

Love to see it! Congratulations @EBrookesNeuro and @KatrinDeinhardt
Delighted to have received a pump prime grant from the @ARUKscientist South Coast network to set up labelling of nascent RNA in neurons. Thanks to my super supportive colleague and Co-I @KatrinDeinhardt

Reaching the maximum feeding capacity from current agricultural land would require a global shift to plant-based diets and vast amounts of industrial fertiliser, a study has found newscientist.com/article/236…
