🎙️ New podcast!

We often hear that invasive species are bad for ecosystems they invade, but the consequences can seem fuzzy.

We hear from @naikasanuchara.bsky.social and @carolboggs.bsky.social about their study system, where an invasive plant has very tangible effects for a native butterfly.

final week to apply for @sangerinstitute.bsky.social PhD programme (due Nov 27th) -- free to apply, open to anyone anywhere, and a superb training opportunity for students interested in genomic approaches applied to biodiversity, pathogens, vectors, and of course us pesky humans.
