Wonderful 24hrs back with @BES_careers @FranciscaSconce @Andra_Opr sharing the wonders of entomology at #BESUG23! From nighttime insect raves to morning mothing and sampling in the sun - we packed a lot in. Fantastic meeting new students and catching up with familiar faces 😄
Some great advice on handling tricky audience questions. Wish I had these in my locker back in the day! 👇
