As of passing my viva this morning that’s me #PhDone 🎉 I think little Georgia would be quite happy with current Georgia. She was wrong about the marine part but pretty close 🐠
Thanks to my wonderful examiners @_EmCunningham_@SteigerLab for an interesting discussion 🪲
A big week!
I submitted PhD thesis! Here is the final beast and some bits I collected from side projects and whatnot over the last 4 years. 🥳
And I started my new job at @imascientist 👩💻
This #MothersDay, we want to give a shout out to all the incredible Burying beetle mums out there, working hard to protect and rear their offspring.
From preparing the carcass, to regurgitating pre-digested flesh to the larvae - they are exceptional parents! ☺️

Really happy that the second paper of my PhD with @persmiseth is finally out and about! If you are interested in nutritional state, parental care or burying beetles give it a read 🪲🐁 @BehavEcol@e3dtp@BehaviouralEco2academic.oup.com/beheco/arti…
Also if you know of an post-doc positions along even vaguely related lines give me a shout 👀 interested in pretty much all things to do with social behaviour!

A weirdly satisfying time lapse of burying beetle egg laying from a project I am working on 🥚⏱️
You can see the whole process from preparing the mouse, laying the eggs, the eggs hatching and the lavae emerging 🪲

@SEBiology
It’s been super fun designing these resources - more in the pipeline right now 👀
If you haven’t already, check out this thread to see the exciting things we’ve been working on @AnimalBehavPod👇
Did you know our Education Team has developed some learning activities based on our episodes? 🥳
That's right! You can use @AnimalBehavPod episodes in your undergraduate classes to teach about #animalbehavior, #scicomm, and more - all on our website! 🦦
