*ALL* awardees are professors! And two are already Fellows of the Royal Society! It is mind-boggling that this tragicomedy is real and not the storyline of some satirical spoof of contemporary academia.

Talking about multivariate phnotypic plasticity of resource polymorphims in salmonids at the Belfast FSBI Symposium. #FSBI2025
The FSBI Medal Winners session starts with a talk from Colin Adams. Colin, previous President of the FSBI, has been awarded this year's Beverton Medal. Given the FSBI's focus on supporting ECRs, Colin draws on his wealth of experience, with a talk titled "Surviving a career in research" #FSBI2025
One of the best choice of my early career so far was to go for the FSBI studentship.
great work by Nic Strowbridge in the PhD homestretch, bringing together a wide literature and range of species. How does methylation relate to colouration and what do we need to test next? @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk @iapetusdtp.bsky.social
