PAPER ALERT!🚨 Short photoperiod triggers DNA #methylation in key reproductive gene promoters, driving testicular regression in Siberian hamsters. Using @nanopore, our study reveals #epigenetic shifts linked to #seasonal #reproduction. Read more: ⛓️‍💥 https://t.co/UHZUYJ8XNs

Amazing flash talk by @IremDenizliMSc on her doctoral work on Siberian Hamsters 🐹 at @UofGSBOHVM Research Away day! @Stevenson_Lab

Great talk by Dr. Jyoti Tiwari on how photic cues drive migration, sleep, and immunity in redheaded buntings. Her findings reveal how ALAN and noise pollution disrupt these processes, underscoring the need to preserve natural light-dark cycles. #PAWSeminar

We celebrated Darwin’s birthday with a great Darwin Day Lecture at @UofGSBOHVM! Professor @SteveBrusatte ‘s talk on the rise and fall of dinosaurs was both inspiring and insightful. Thanks for a fascinating discussion! #DarwinDay #Paleontology #Evolution

Yesterday @sayantansur008 presented his work on molecular regulation of seasonal adiposity in Japanese quails at #SICB2025 !

Great talk by @CalumStewartPhD at #SICB2025 on role of hypothalamic Dio3 in seasonal responses in Siberian hamsters!

Excited to present my PhD research on photoperiod-driven polyphenism in Siberian hamsters at #SICB2025! Stop by poster P4-157 during the session tomorrow to discuss how seasonal changes shape developmental plasticity. Looking forward to connecting! 🐹

We had our “traditional” Christmas potluck party today! Thanks for everyone joining and all the secret Santas bringing gifts and joy! 🎄

My final Friday PGR talk ✅ It’s always been a pleasure to have discussions with the lovely EvoDiv SIG! Thanks to everyone for great feedback and suggestions, helping me improve my work as I approach the end of my PhD! 🐹

Because the scientific community seems to be migrating there (and I didn’t want to be left behind), you can now find me here 🦋: https://t.co/ey5SLR7Hcs

Excellent opportunity to share the latest work from group members Irem, Adam & Calum on mechanisms of polyphenisms. Thank you to our colleagues Dr Anna Przybylska-Piech & the Dept Vertebrate Biology & Ecology for the wonderful time in Torun.

Aurora in Glasgow! 💕

How do Siberian hamsters know when to switch gears between summer and winter? 🌞❄️ I’m investigating the genomic control of photoperiod-driven polyphenism—stop by my poster at #UKClockClub to learn more! 🧬 #PhDLife

Had a fantastic time at the @bsneuroendo dinner! Great connections and perfect atmosphere. The ceilidh was so much fun that we completely forgot to take any photos or videos 😂 What a perfect way to wrap up an inspiring event!

Excited to share @CalumStewartPhD’s amazing work presented yesterday at the poster session: 'Dio3 Establishes the Period of Seasonal Interval Timing in Mammals’ at BSN’24. Fascinating insights into how Siberian hamsters adapt to seasonal changes! 🧬

Great talk in BSN’24 by @TALiddle on seasonal and developmental programming in Japanese quail! 👏

Delighted to rank 12th in the world, and top in Scotland, in the ⁦@timeshighered Impact Rankings! The rankings measure universities’ performance against the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to improve global health & education, reduce inequality, drive economic

Absolutely thrilled to celebrate with @TALiddle on passing his PhD viva! 🎉📚 Proud of you, Dr. Liddle! #PhDone

Strong ending to the #UKClockClub ! Thanks everyone for the talks and posters and hope to meet again next year 🍾 @UofG_SBOHVM @BioClocksUK @Stevenson_Lab

Thanks Davide @dmdominoni for an excellent and interesting talk on chronobiology of urban life! 🪶 @UofG_SBOHVM @BioClocksUK
