I've been leading the charge to make our lab a wilder place to work. Over the last year, I've planted native wildflowers, shrubs and trees, letting patches of grass grow long, and building habitats for birds and insects. This will successively establish into a full wildflower meadow - protecting hoverflies, bees, butterflies and all manner of precious wildlife.

I obtained my MBiol (2024) from the University of Oxford, where I looked at the effects of field-realistic exposure of bumble bees to cholinergic pesticides. I remained in the lab as a Research Assistant, where I now principally research how to make greenhouses more amicable for pollinators.
