Thank you to Decom North Sea for the invitation to present the marine science perspective at #DecomOffshore2018 in which I summarised the results from first stage of INSITE. Really interesting day!

Well done to Dr Matt Carter! Feel super lucky to have been part of this journey and to have nabbed him for a post doc! x.com/mattidcarter/s…

Researchers from SMRU (Debbie JF Russell) and CREEM (C. Harris) went to a Cubs meeting & helped them work towards their Scientist Badge.Lots of fun w/ skulls, whale sounds, photo-ID game. Played games to show how hard it can be for animals to communicate when humans are so noisy!

Reminder, pls retweet! x.com/_smru_/status/…

Exciting #Applied #PhDOpportunity Abertay University in collaboration w/ SMRU!!Great for those who want to use lab techniques and data in conjunction w/ field data! #AMRGMeetsTelemetry x.com/phatsabertay/s…

Awesome postdoc opportunity @ SMRU with a great PI!😀

that's quite a few strandings ....

Tagatha, a grey seal tagged on Bardsey in May as part of @beisgovuk funded project to learn more about the movements of grey seals to inform Marine Spatial Planning, has pupped 100 miles south on Ramsey!Thank you to all involved, esp Lisa Morgan RSPB Ramsey Island for pics and naming!

Reminder! Tomorrow (11th October), to celebrate 40 yrs of SMRU, we are hosting a PUBLIC lecture by leading #whale expert Phil Clapham NOAA Fisheries at Byre Theatre, 1pm University of St Andrews Pls retweet

Heads up all - the April 2nd deadline for applications to the University of St Andrews School of Biology SMRU Marine Mammal Science MSc is approaching! For full info on content, entry requirements and how to apply please refer to the MSc MMS website: st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/marin…

All visas in place so.. happy to announce that after a rather long break from academia 👶😷, I’m a little scared and very excited to be starting as a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Discovery Fellow at Oxford Biology! (1/4)

One little common seal with the big pile of moulting male grey seals. High up the beach because greys like to be out of the water while they replace their fur this time of year. Means they are easy to see but also easy to disturb, so enjoy seal watching from a distance. x.com/tgojm1/status/…

How do I fit my academic job into a 37 hour week? I don’t, I couldn’t possibly because this job is impossible to do/ complete/ control. But I am not willing to give my life to it or work longer hours unpaid, so here are 10 ways I survive: 1/11

Well done University of Exeter News. Hopefully will encourage others to follow suit...here (University of St Andrews) we are still at 16 weeks full pay...and that is only if you have more than 26 weeks continuous service at the 15th week before the Expected Week Childbirth (EWC) ☹️ x.com/uniofexeternew…

Awesomes pics!!! x.com/imagesecology/…

Our very own Carol Sparling presented a review of data collected at a range of tidal sites to demonstrate how important behavioural factors are when predicting collision risk #EIMR2018

Exciting to see more collaborative projects tackling key issues: Matt Witt of University of Exeter describing a great multiyear, ecosystem scale monitoring programme at Wello Wave Energy 's penguin EMEC, also involving University of Plymouth and Uppsala University #EIMR2018
