Chuffed to have presented a poster and given a talk at @RoyEntSoc #Ento22! I've had a wonderful time connecting with Entomologists from around the world and hearing about the awesome research happening in #Entomology.

Here’s to possibly the worst team, with the best name, HymenopTERROR (or hymenopterrible). A great evening at the #EntOlympics! 🐛 @smol_scientist @CharlieZoology @GaiaMortier (and more) #Ento22

Interesting (but worrying) talk about representation of entomology in higher education modules (under represented in the UK) by @amma_simon - with some great suggestions of things we can do! #Ento22

So very sad to hear of the passing of @EntoProf. I filmed this ‘A is for Aphids’ video at @HarperAdamsUni back in 2013. Absolutely worthy of a watch, Simon at his best. m.youtube.com/watch?v=liBt59…

This is such sad news. Myself and countless others have learnt so much from him and I'm in no doubt his work will inspire future generations of entomologists. I feel very privileged to have had him as my PhD external examiner. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Hello all. I am so very sad to report the death of Professor Simon Leather, @EntoProf Simon died peacefully last night. Simon’s wife, Gillian, asked me to announce on Twitter as this was such a big part of his life. I will post the funeral details once I know. @HarperAdamsUni

Are you an #entomologist or someone who appreciates #insects and #music lover, especially of rhythm and blues? Then, like me, you might find this photo in today's NYT of Sam Cooke and his wife in their home interesting. Look at the wall decorations.

Got home from Tokyo 2 weeks ago and I’ve already had 2 taxis just drive off once they see I’m in a wheelchair!
