Yn 2022 collasom ein cydweithiwr annwyl, Jim Provan, ar ôl cyfnod o salwch. Gadawodd ei gynhesrwydd, ei ddoethineb a’i haelioni farc parhaol ar bawb a gafodd y fraint o weithio gydag ef. Cyhoeddir y gwaith hwn er cof am Jim Provan - gwyddonydd, athro a ffrind. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

In 2022 we lost our much-loved colleague Jim Provan after a period of illness. Jim’s warmth, wisdom, and generosity left a lasting mark on everyone who worked with him. This work is dedicated to the memory of Jim Provan - scientist and sage, teacher and friend. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Was great to chat to the Aberystwyth Science Cafe last night about all things #Parasites in canine faeces. #Worms 🪱Thanks @amandaclare.bsky.social for the invite. Loved every minute of it! @aberdlsagb.bsky.social @bchcaber.bsky.social

Cotton is excited about meeting some of our applicants today @aberdlsagb.bsky.social applicant visit day and showing off the sniffing skills she has been learning on the #OneZoo project to locate parasite intermediate hosts on farmland :)

An excellent day yesterday at the @aberdlsagb.bsky.social #FestivalOfResearch. Some great presentations and posters. Super proud to supervise @coreyasteele.bsky.social (Oral), @angelrumney.bsky.social (Poster) and Michela (Poster). Even time for a #FlukeMap group photo (some are missing)

We are delighted to have appointed the Chief Executive of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society as a new Pro-Chancellor. More: tinyurl.com/5b62hwwn

Great talk from Rhys Jones at our @aberdlsagb.bsky.social Festival of Research 2025 covering our #FlukeMap project. Risk mapping and farmer perceptions of their own risk areas!

Heading up for the @aberdlsagb.bsky.social Festival of Research today. I’m looking forward to hearing lots of exciting talks, and this afternoon I’ll share the story of how a literal “snow day” on Arctic fieldwork in 2019 evolved in to two (2!) NERC projects.

A very successful morning today collecting rumen fluke for my UG project student Craig (those are his hands). Thanks also to @coreyasteele.bsky.social for helping her supervisor not mess it up, with idiot proof instructions for me! #TeamFluke @aberdlsagb.bsky.social

A little late getting to post this but so proud to see Dr Holly Northcote defend her PhD viva last Friday. Many thanks to Prof. Jane Hodgkinson @liverpooluni.bsky.social and Dr Justin Pachebat @aberdlsagb.bsky.social for examining. Ruth and I are super proud lab parents! @bchcaber.bsky.social
