Really cool to see this finally released! My first book chapter which I co-authored with Dr Carol Trim and Ventera Bio Ltd. I also got one of my pictures on the front cover. whsmith.co.uk/products/the-c…

"This Box Jellyfish (Chirodectes) has only been seen twice in the wild, the first was back in 1997, 25 years ago, and the second is this video which was captured by Scuba Ventures - Kavieng in late 2021 near Papua New Guinea!" - jellyfish_science' (IG)

Super excited to be working with NEYEDC The Deep & @HCCEastarea to plan community events, citizen science species surveys & wildlife-focused landscape developments at Alderman Kneeshaw Park #TeamWilder Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋 Friends of Alderman Kneeshaw Park Love Parks Hull #Hull #Wildlife

If you're in the area, come get involved and help record the biodiversity around the site.

A first for me today, seeing Satyrium w-album (White Letter Hairstreak) up close! Good start to the Big Butterfly Count. Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire

We are starting to climb the charts on the BIAZA 'Spotted on Site' inaturalist project to record native biodiversity in The Deep's grounds! Join in and help us! inaturalist.org #biodiversity #inaturalist #native James Hoggarth @aBugBlog Hull Wildlife

Surveying at Alderman Kneeshaw ahead of an exciting community event (Fri 12th Aug- save the date!) Some great spots to add to species records.

What a graduation ceremony that was! (And so much quicker than undergrad ceremonies 😂). Wouldn't have been doing it today if it wasn't for the amazing help and support from my friends Dr Carol Trim and Ventera Bio Ltd. Congratulations to my fellow venom nerds from Carol's lab too!

Fun day out at Spurn Point yesterday. Collecting Sea Grass (Zostera noltei) seeds with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.

Just caught a Grey Wagtail visiting my pond.

We’re grateful for Phill Robinson who set up this blog by our CSO

Attended the BIAZA National Aquarium Conference on Friday and Saturday, where I presented some of the research that I did for my MSc with The Deep, Dr Carol Trim, and Ventera Bio Ltd. Really excited that I managed to pick up an award for one of the best presentations too!

Congratulations to another of our great MSc students. This time picking up a presentation prize for his work on novel methods for recoverable collection of Cnidarian venoms

Do you want to record #wildlife in #Hull? Or are you a regular recorder? We would love your help! The @citnatchallenge is coming to Hull this year & we want as many people as possible to help collect important data. For more info: neyedc.org.uk/hull-cnc-2023 🌿🐞🐸🦊🐍🐦

A few good records from earlier today at Welwick Saltmarsh BWARS . Episyron rufipes (I'm assuming not gallicum?) fighting over what I think is Araneus quadratus. A species I'm not quite sure of (Anoplius sp.?) With what I think is Trochosa sp. And then Philanthus triangulum.

#53 in our #YorkshireIn100Species series is live on our website today! This time, Phill Robinson, Senior Aquarist at The Deep Phill Robinson introduces us to one of our rare solitary bees, the coastal specialist Sea Aster Mining Bee: neyedc.org.uk/100-species/20… 🐝

The space had been newly planted up to help nature - and to honour the man who masterminded The Deep hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east…

Phill Robinson - insight into novel non-invasive methods to extract Cnidarian toxins for potential use in drug discovery. 🪼 Explaining DIY cytotoxicity assay techniques utilising acetone precipitation, and venom composition results that may benefit tumor research. #vemonday

On Saturday I was invited to present some of my research at the Bangor Herp Soc Venom Day conference. There were some awesome talks, and mine seemed to generate some good interest. It's given me a bit of motivation to actually get the work I have been sitting on published asap!
