English version of my website on plant damage caused by #thrips is published. Largest collection of damage patterns assigned to specific thrips! ☺️

Some giant thrips (>10 mm?) from Papua New Guinea. I had no idea they could grow that large!

📍🪲 Yes, we are happy to announce that pins with nylon heads are now available @ecologysupplies! 🪲📍
📌 Known for their quality and durability, these pins are made in the Czech Republic and come in stainless steel or black enamel and in various sizes📌

Very #proud of my mother who today receives an MBE at Windsor for her ongoing work at @autismberkshire after many years.

The fact this got into press makes me realise I spend far too long umming and erring in caution before going for publication.
There are absolutely wild theoretical errors here.

We had a special visitor studying special creatures… lice that live on sea lions 🦭 Yes that’s right! Our historical slide collection is invaluable to our understanding of ecological interactions. This group of lice (Echinophthiriids) are the only true marine insects!
Mi visita a la colección de Entomología del Museo fue para revisar el material depositado de 3 de las especies, tomar fotos y analizar características morfológicas para combinar morfometría, molecular y taxonomía clásica y resolver la cuestión

Making great progress with slides today and just mounted a beautiful Neurothrips apache from Utah. A stunning species from a stunning place!

At the NHM today going through some comparisons for the material we collected in Utah and the Midwest. Can’t wait to get confirmation of a few more species.

I've only just been introduced to the new @NHM_London logo. Who signed off on this and how much did it cost? Looks like something knocked up on illustrator in 5 mins, and even less time spent considering if it was a good idea. 🤢🤮

$30 a month to play a VTT?
GMs you now have a baseline to charge your players $15 a month to play on a different VTT or even in meatspace.
$5 discount if they own a PHB
$5 off if they know their character's spells/abilities.
$5 off if they're on time.
Make lemonade outta this

Excited to be giving a lecture today at Bucks New University.
Always fun to get students enthusiastic to play and learn with bugs and grubs!

“Metabarcoding is magic, but you have to play by the rules and now we know the rules” great talk by @JordanCuff and these papers are on my “must read” list. doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13… doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.13…

@Thripidave: Thrips are important disease vectors but their mitochondrial genome is weird, complicating barcoding and leading to messy phylogenies! New phylogeny from shotgun sequencing assemblies provides stronger evidence. Can assess virus relationships simultaneously! #Ento22
