That's a wrap on the 2026 Wytham breeding season - the earliest on record! Here are some summary stats from my fieldwork this year 📈🪺🐛🐣 @egioxford.bsky.social
Looks like my first field season at Wytham woods will be an early one! 🪺🐦
Yesterday, I organised my first workshop with @egioxford.bsky.social ! ✍🏻🖥️
Huge thank you to Dr Alexandra Cones (LMU Munich) for a fantastic introduction to multivariate models in STAN. A really useful, fun session and a great jumping off point for exploring STAN's uses in ecological research!
Kicking off my PhD training with the Open, Reproducible, and Transparent Science course in Norway!
*Strong evidence suggests that regular dog cuddles between sessions make students more likely to pay attention in stats lectures (Adelmant et al. 2025 - under review!)
First sight of a new generation... The first Great Tit eggs have hatched in Wytham Woods this morning.
This week's seminar will be given by Dr Paul Acker from NTNU, Norway on "Processes of life-history adaptation to spatio-seasonal environmental changes" - seminar at 3.30 on Friday in Life & Mind Building @biology.ox.ac.uk All welcome & will also be streamed - see details below
