Why isn't the world covered in poop? Because of decomposers like #dungbeetles of course! @paulypod and I had an amzing time making this with @TED_ED. Hope you enjoy it! x.com/TED_ED/status/97829303…
Each day, the animal kingdom produces roughly enough poop to match the volume of water pouring over Victoria Falls. So why isn’t the planet covered in the stuff? t.ted.com/FM0DPyl
Insects account for an estimated 75% of animal life on Earth and are an invaluable and integral part of all life on our planet.

Let’s appreciate and protect insects #ForNature and for ourselves.
As part of the @nparksbuzz biodiversity surveys at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, @NTUsg researchers are studying the dung beetles residing there, which wld give an indication of mammal populations & establish a baseline on species found locally! straitstimes.com/singapore/n…
Presented my #dungbeetles of Singapore work today at the International Conference for Undergraduate Research #ICUR2022! First time formally communicating my science to a multi-disciplinary audience, & also enjoyed hearing from other student researchers too! 😀 @ICURstudents
ALT Some of my favourite slides from my presentation, highlighting the functional importance of dung beetles, sampling sites in Singapore, the creation of a morphological key, and the support of the Tropical Ecology and Entomology Lab in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Scientific expedition at Sekar Imej Conservation Area (SICA) with Wilmar International. Fun and fruitful experience with @EleSlade 🤩
