Yn 2022 collasom ein cydweithiwr annwyl, Jim Provan, ar ôl cyfnod o salwch. Gadawodd ei gynhesrwydd, ei ddoethineb a’i haelioni farc parhaol ar bawb a gafodd y fraint o weithio gydag ef.
Cyhoeddir y gwaith hwn er cof am Jim Provan - gwyddonydd, athro a ffrind.

In 2022 we lost our much-loved colleague Jim Provan after a period of illness. Jim’s warmth, wisdom, and generosity left a lasting mark on everyone who worked with him.
This work is dedicated to the memory of Jim Provan - scientist and sage, teacher and friend.

Was great to chat to the Aberystwyth Science Cafe last night about all things #Parasites in canine faeces. #Worms 🪱Thanks @amandaclare.bsky.social for the invite. Loved every minute of it! @aberdlsagb.bsky.social @bchcaber.bsky.social
Cotton is excited about meeting some of our applicants today @aberdlsagb.bsky.social applicant visit day and showing off the sniffing skills she has been learning on the #OneZoo project to locate parasite intermediate hosts on farmland :)
An excellent day yesterday at the @aberdlsagb.bsky.social #FestivalOfResearch. Some great presentations and posters. Super proud to supervise @coreyasteele.bsky.social (Oral), @angelrumney.bsky.social (Poster) and Michela (Poster). Even time for a #FlukeMap group photo (some are missing)
We are delighted to have appointed the Chief Executive of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society as a new Pro-Chancellor.

Great talk from Rhys Jones at our @aberdlsagb.bsky.social Festival of Research 2025 covering our #FlukeMap project. Risk mapping and farmer perceptions of their own risk areas!
Heading up for the @aberdlsagb.bsky.social Festival of Research today. I’m looking forward to hearing lots of exciting talks, and this afternoon I’ll share the story of how a literal “snow day” on Arctic fieldwork in 2019 evolved in to two (2!) NERC projects.
A very successful morning today collecting rumen fluke for my UG project student Craig (those are his hands). Thanks also to @coreyasteele.bsky.social for helping her supervisor not mess it up, with idiot proof instructions for me! #TeamFluke @aberdlsagb.bsky.social
A little late getting to post this but so proud to see Dr Holly Northcote defend her PhD viva last Friday. Many thanks to Prof. Jane Hodgkinson @liverpooluni.bsky.social and Dr Justin Pachebat @aberdlsagb.bsky.social for examining. Ruth and I are super proud lab parents! @bchcaber.bsky.social

Efallai bod microbau rhewlifol yn fach iawn ond mae eu neges yn enfawr: mae newid hinsawdd yn dileu ecosystemau doeddem yn gwybod eu bod yn bodoli. ❄️🔥
Darllenwch yr erthygl hon @arwynedwards.bsky.social s.bsky.social
Glacial microbes might be tiny but their message is huge: climate change is erasing ecosystems we never knew existed. ❄️🔥

Person in a lecture theatre holding up a small piece of kong that the dog will be searching for. The border collie is focused on her rewards sat on the desk in front of her.
Cotton came to work to demonstrate skills taught by Eszter Monostori on her #OneZoo PhD project - teaching dogs to locate the intermediate hosts of parasites. She loved meeting our students, inspiring the next generation of scientists.
