The absolute state of this... "DPhil Poetry" "Hungary has fallen"
DPhil, Poetry
God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager.
She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

I passed my viva! 🎊
I’m very happy to share that yesterday, after ~4 years of research, I successfully defended my DPhil thesis and will be awarded the title of doctor 😎
Thank you to my examiners, supervisors, and collaborators for all the advice and support given along the way.

Latest work from @devisatarkar.bsky.social DPhil thesis exploring the ecological effects that modulate the link between offspring and adult body mass in great tits. The correlation is really quite plastic! Fun collaboration with @lbliard.bsky.social @iremsepil.bsky.social @davididiaquez.bsky.social
Heavier great tit nestlings 🐥 usually end up as heavier adults 🐦. Is this always a strong correlation?
Our new preprint shows that the strength of this 'silver-spoon' association shifts continuously with environmental context, and is stronger in harsh conditions!

#OnThisDay in 1920, the first ever UK DPhil/PhD was awarded at Oxford University 🎓
@magdalenoxford.bsky.social's Dr James Brontë Gatenby was the first DPhil student to graduate with his thesis on cell biology.

Lovely to see Devi Satarkar’s first DPhil paper out in print
Using a dataset of 800,000+ observations and decades of breeding records, Dr Satarkar and team employ multi-matrix quantitative genetic ‘animal models’ to show that genes play a minimal role in shaping individual social phenotypes in an avian system 🪽 🧪 🌏

Beyond proud of my two graduating DPhil students Fran Dakin and Laiba Husain, who have redefined what’s possible in doctoral study and are ROCKING the graduation look!

Celebrating DPhil graduation of @nilomr.bsky.social & @andreaestandia.bsky.social today with Sonya Clegg. Great to have had them both as DPhil students here in Oxford @biology.ox.ac.uk and even more fortunate they both stayed for postdocs!

I just submitted my DPhil thesis!
Title: The evolution of cooperation and division of labour in insects 🐜🐝
Now let’s hope it’s not just rejected immediately 🤞

in addition to all the obvious gender-conspiracy-theory gobbledygook, can you imagine being do desperate for recognition that you list "8 NYT Bestsellers" *and* both "Dr." & "DPhil" in your username 🤣
