Various things can make you proud as a PhD supervisor, but few are more rewarding than watching the graduation of a student who has faced more difficulties than most. Congratulations Dr @SaharAkbarivala, deserving @UoLondon @RoyalHolloway @RHULBioSci PhD holder! 10 years...💪👏👏

Fieldwork season is here! As part of a research project I'm running in collaboration with @ProjectOrchard, I’ll be spending the next year collecting bees, beetles, butterflies, and soil cores from dozens of urban orchards in and around London! Supervised by @ElliLeadbeater1 🪲

It takes women almost 15 years longer than men to progress to full professorships at top UK universities on average, says study timeshighereducation.com/new… via @paddywjack

Women ‘take 15 years more than men’ to become professors

Analysis of Russell Group data says female researchers are more likely to stay at lower pay grades or to leave the sector

The Disabled Women in Academia panel event brings together women with disabilities in academia at different stages of their careers. They will reflect on their journeys; what support is available and what still needs to be done in academia to empower women with disabilities. 1/2

This summer, I traveled to northern Norway with @Huawei @HUAWEI_TECH4ALL to discover how AI is helping safeguard its ecosystems against a hook-nosed, humpbacked alien invader... 👽 Watch the video to learn more! @ReservaYLT @IntoTheWildPod @RHULWiB @RHULBioSci @NatGeoEducation

Catching invasive species is challenging but also vital to preserving local ecosystems. With the help of #AI, researchers were able to eff-fish-ently identify and catch the invasive Humpback Salmon, giving the local Norwegian Salmon a better chance to thrive. Watch the story! #TECH4ALL #BetterTogether #Huawei
