The scan I did of a paper wasp nest earlier this year is now a VR exhibit at the @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social - check it out next time you're in London!! 🐝

Wasps are complex and extraordinary animals but are often misunderstood. Our new exhibition and immersive VR installations invite you to experience this hidden world. www.ucl.ac.uk/museums-coll... #GMZWasps

Something a bit different! Last year I was interviewed by Eero Höök from XAMK to help shape the design of a video game! Thoroughly enjoyed imparting my favourite #frog facts to help bring the characters in this thesis to life 🐸

Before I worked @ UTCT, I was the #NoCTURN postdoc! I'm still heavily involved & chair multiple groups. Here's a short video I made about our work. If you generate/use/manage tomography data, now's a great time to join! Next year our in-person meeting is at the AMNH🤩
