Helicopter trip into West Maui mountains to collect chirally variable Lymnaeid snails 🐌, funded by BBSRC International Collaboration award with Ken Hayes and Norine Yeung at Bishop Museum, Honolulu. Think I am rocking the rebel fighters from Star Wars look?

#Mastodon please do your thing to break #server boundaries and let all the #instances know, a fully funded #PhD project at #Manchester #University is on #offer for a suitable candidate.

The project will introduce #sebum collection that has never been demonstrated on #smart #sensor patches and will act as a showcase for the beyond-state-of-the-art sensing using #wearable sensors. #Deadline 9th #December. #academia #academic #research #BBSRC #DTP #UoM

BBSRC DTP student Margarethe Johansen presenting at the NHM molluscan forum this afternoon - a whole genome linkage map for the 🐌 Cepaea nemoralis, showing all 22 chromosomes

Mid-November and there are still colour polymorphic Cepaea nemoralis (grove snail) out and active in the UK; worldwide #iNaturalist records by month on right.

#UoN #BBSRC PhD student Margarethe Johansen will present an update (based on whole genome linkage map) in our quest to identify the colour and banding loci, this Thursday at #MolluscanForum #NHMLondon. Free registration, hybrid event phyman@bas.ac.uk #Cepaea #grovesnail #Evolution #Polymorphism

#ManyFaces has been awarded £39k from the #BBSRC International Partnerships scheme via University of Glasgow MVLS to develop distributed image collection protocols for more diverse face research image sets!

Project led by Vít Trebicky, Thora Bjornsdottir and Lisa DeBruine. Contact me if you’re interested in more info or being involved. We’ll set up a website for full transparency soon.
