To start the day @julianresasco.bsky.social takes us through a century of changes in plant-pollinator interactions. #BES2025

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining "the Bee’s Knees" podcast, where we talked about our latest research on honeybees and what it means for wild pollinators. 🎙️🐝
You can listen to the episode here: thebeesknees.website/wild-pollina...
Pollination Overload: Why More Honey Bees Don't Always Mean Better Crops (Ep. 67) - The Bee's Knees
Can having too many honeybee hives in our landscapes be detrimental? Dr. Ainhoa Magrach led a comprehensive review that brings fresh clarity to a long-standing question: how does the number of honeybee hives in a landscape affect wild pollinators, plant reproduction, and ecosystem health? We explore how the overuse of managed honeybees can sometimes undermine biodiversity and agricultural productivity and discuss sustainable practices that can make a difference.

Honoured (and a bit surprised!) to receive the Aixegetxo award last week. I never feel these things are just about me — they reflect the people, teams and communities I’m lucky to work with. Grateful for all your support. Mila esker. 💙🌿

I’ve never been a runner, but I’ve started lately—and it’s been amazing for clearing my head and managing stress. I’m slow, awkward, and very much a beginner… but I keep showing up. Still a turtle, but a resilient one. 🐢✨

🌸 The SARE Lab team joined #SCAPE2025 in Priego de Córdoba, sharing our latest work on pollinator ecology & microbiomes 🐝🦠
We presented 2 talks + 2 posters on how global change affects pollinator dynamics, biodiversity & ecosystem stability 🌍💛

The real evil in science? Not reviewer #2, not impact factors… it’s the Spanish CVA platform making you retype your whole life. And yes, the “A” definitely stands for Agonía. #academiclife

First day at #SCAPEmeeting — and for the first time in Spain! 🌍 Inspiring talks, thought-provoking discussions, and the joy of reconnecting with old friends while meeting new ones. Excited for the days ahead @sarelab.bsky.social

Academics are stuck in a game we always lose.

A for-profit publisher offered me $1K a year to edit one of their journals — work worth far more. I said no.

We write, review, and edit for free, then pay to publish and read. Time to stop playing the game. #publishingsystem #academia

I once missed the chance to meet Jane Goodall because my supervisor said no. Here’s the story 🧵✨

Ayer falleció Jane Goodall, científica pionera, conservacionista incansable y una gran referente para todos los que queremos un futuro mejor para el planeta.

Se la echará de menos.

🍯🐝 Honey is tasty, and beekeeping is necessary…but how many honeybee hives do we really need? That’s exactly what we’re trying to figure out. In the meantime… we have honey! 🌿✨ #GorBEEa @erc.europa.eu

Thrilled to welcome @julianresasco.bsky.social (University of Colorado) on sabbatical with us! 🌿🐝 Ongi etorri!
He gave a fantastic talk on how anthropogenic change reshapes plant–pollinator communities across time— from seasonal dynamics to long-term trajectories.

Another fantastic #Econet2025— had such a great time! So many inspiring talks, new ideas, and great conversations. Already looking forward to the next one in… Brazil!!! 🇧🇷
It’s the end of #EcoNet2025 and what better way to celebrate than an exploration of Bamburgh Castle and walk on the beach

Just wrapped up a fantastic couple of days at RMBL🏔️ — inspiring people, incredible wildlife, and hikes that took my breath away (literally and figuratively 😅, altitude is tough). Already looking forward to the next time! 🌿✨

🐝 One of the unexpected perks of doing experiments with honeybees… harvesting some fresh, golden honey straight from the hive! 🍯 #ResearchPerks #Bees

Touched down in Colorado ✈️🌄 Off to RMBL for a data-theory pollinator workshop 🐝🌸 After years of reading the papers, I get to see the actual place they came from. Pinch me!
