It was truly such an honour to conduct my MSc research at a place as prestigous as the @pirbrightinst.bsky.social As thanks for hosting me, I decided to draw the team's favourite insects as bookmarks for them.
Looking forward to being able to correspond with Pirbright in the future!
two weeks into my research right now and absolutely loving it. the lab notebook is already almost full!

After many long nights, I am excited to announce the publication of my website, The Ribrary! This is a living library for veterinary professionals and pet owners alike, and is designed to shed light on common health concerns and debunk misconceptions within the rat community

The MedPara Course had a wonderful time spending a week down in Slapton Ley getting to apply what we've learned in the field. I am so thankful to have had such a unique experience and look forward to being able to use what I learned here for my future work in vector management. @lshtm.bsky.social
I mistyped an email sign off as “all the bees” instead of “all the best”. I reckon I’m going to stick with it. I can’t think of anything negative that can possibly come of wishing someone all the bees.
Had a wonderful time today at the Rainham Marsh collecting overwintering mosquito larvae and adults for population studies and identification practice. I even had some down time to go bird watching! @rspbengland.bsky.social
Exceptionally happy to get back to work with a personal project of mine. I have spent a large part of this year compiling data and writing up guides for the most up-to-date care regarding pet rats. Stay tuned for more information, but the Ribrary is projected to go live before the end of the year!
Been absolutely adoring my time at @lshtm.bsky.social over the last term. I am so thrilled to have experienced such wonderful learning opportunities already. I am eager to see what is in store next semester and to get started on my research project!

This week's rodent is the fat sand rat of North Africa and the Middle East, Psammomys obesus. Despite their name, they are actually related to gerbils. The disruption of their burrows can result in Leishmania outbreaks due to Phlebotomite sandflies using them as breeeding grounds.
