We tracked male honeybees for two years to find out where they look for sex. An article I wrote for The Conversation, explaining the science behind my research paper into honeybee drone behaviour. This one caught people's imagination: it has been read more than 76,000 times and was the most read article by any Queen Mary University of London researcher in 2021.

While some bees are workers, others are born to bee free. Another piece for The Conversation, explaining a study with James Makinson and others in which we told the life stories of individual bees by tracking every flight they ever made. This one had more than 23,000 views and was widely republished.

Central Place Foraging.  Encyclopedia of Animal Cognition and Behavior. Vonk, J., Shackelford, T. (eds). I was asked to write a piece for a new encyclopedia. This short article explains the science of central place foraging, a common tactic in which an animal has a central base, usually a home or nest, from which it searches for food or other resources.

Faculty Opinions (formerly Faculty of 1000), is a social network in which working scientists can recommend the most important or relevant new research results to one another. As an associate member, I have written a number of short pieces, explaining the relevance of new papers that have excited me.
