Does anyone have any tips for Fellowship interviews? I have an interview for the Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship in a few weeks and would welcome any helpful suggestions!

Latest paper out today in Proceedings B looking at individual variability in sea urchin reproduction in response to #OceanAcidification. @CezzaLew @MarBioCam Clara Nielson Alice Wilson McNeal #ExeterMarine

Check out our latest paper looking at sea urchins as #bioeroders of #plastic

Our new paper published in Science today examines the impacts of extreme warming events in the oceans ('marine heatwaves') on ecosystem services globally. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In case you missed it…. We got our paper on the socioeconomic impacts of marine heatwaves published in SCIENCE last week! 🙌 #COP26

Our MBA - Marine Biological Association scientists Dan Smale Katie Smith led a study that shows major global impacts of #marineheatwaves and identifies the need to curb CO2 emissions. #COP26 #climatechange #ecosystems buff.ly/3mGveOn Science Magazine

#MarineHeatwaves occur when ocean temperatures are much warmer than expected for the location & time of the year & for an extended period of time 🌡️🌊 A new paper in Science Magazine examines the impacts of MHW on ecosystem services globally 🎨MBA - Marine Biological Association science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are emerging as major threats to entire ecosystems. In our new Ann Rev Mar Sci paper we synthesize existing info on their biological impacts, from genes to ecosystems. annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114… (DM for pdf).

#Kelp forests are found across 1/3 of the world’s coastlines & support high levels of #biodiversity & primary #productivity 🌱🐠 These important #habitats underpin many #EcosystemServices that we rely on. Our work helps value & #conserve kelp forests #MBAKelpClimate Dan Smale

Our work, using diving & other techniques, has shown that UK #kelp forests capture significant amounts of #carbon, most of which is released as detritus into coastal systems, fuelling #foodwebs & #carboncycles 👀 buff.ly/3ga9vOi #MBAKelpClimate Dan Smale

Same day of the year comparison of last year's sea temperatures versus this year. Remember that last year set a record high temperature in CET.

New paper 🚨 as part of an awesome collaboration between 🇬🇧 and 🇵🇪. We characterised bacterial communities associated with the understudied kelp Eisenia cokeri. Loads of structuring at the regional scale and a conserved core 😱. Check it out trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/20….

I'm happy to announce that the session on "marine heatwaves in a changing world" for the upcoming Ocean Sciences Meeting #OSM24 is now open for submissions. We hope to have many interesting talks on this important topic! More info here agu.confex.com/agu/OSM24/prel… Katie Smith

New X for marine heatwave group - will post alerts, stats and impacts

Agreed. This figure is both visually stunning and conceptually heartbreaking. Crazy really...

Researchers have found compelling evidence that intense, summertime #MarineHeatwaves play a significant role in the decline of vital marine species such as #corals, #kelps and #seagrasses. mba.ac.uk/study-reveals-…
