Had a great time presenting the first analysis of my PhD at SMBE in Copenhagen yesterday. Also enjoying some great talks on temporal genomics and signatures of rapid adaptation which will be the focus of my upcoming work. @official-smbe.bsky.social

Lots of interesting talks at this year’s Popgroup 59 in Lille! I got to present a poster on some ongoing work with Dipteran reference genomes, and even tried some traditional Breton dancing.. @popgroup2026.bsky.social

We have arrived in snowy Lille for the 59th PopGroup conference! Come to the MEE stand and have a chat! 😀 @popgroup2026.bsky.social

Late to posting (!) but I recently had the opportunity to present some ongoing research on genetic diversity in flies at the Linnean Society’s Organismal Resilience Meeting. Excellent talks from across systems, and a wonderful and historic venue.. @linneansociety.bsky.social

LGBTQ+ Journal Club is turning 1! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈To celebrate, here's a bit about what we've been up to over the past year: a thread of interesting papers in queer biology (1/n) ⬇️🧵

Good spot from one of my fly sequences yesterday… does someone want to do the maths of what the probability of this happening is?

Day 1 of Insect Taxonomy and Field Sampling Skills at Wytham Woods earlier this week, learning about insect sampling methods. Really enjoying this course ran at the Museum of Natural History Oxford. @morethanadodo.bsky.social

After a week of intense population genomics, lots of tired but still smiley faces. Thank you @embo.org for funding another edition of our Population Genomics course in Naples. And thank you to the trainers and participants for making this eight edition another success! #EMBOpopgen
