Yesterday was such a great day full of interesting science. Super excited for another day of climate change and reproduction talks today! #ESEB2025

Perfectly timed to coincide with our Thermal Fertility Limit Special Topic Network meeting we’ve received a further 2 years of funding, thank you @eseb.bsky.social! And great work fellow leads @rhondasnook.bsky.social, @liamdougherty.bsky.social and Claudia Fricke.

Plot twist from @obarker.bsky.social, starting at diet choice and finding parental age effects, nice work Oonagh! #eseb2025

Very excited our symposium on “Ecological and evolutionary implications of climate change on reproduction” has been accepted for @eseb2025.bsky.social! Linked to our ESEB STN, organised by Rhonda Snook, Claudia Fricke, @liamdougherty.bsky.social and me. See you in Barcelona? Details to follow.
