Fantastic Annual Science Day Leverhulme Centre for Life in the Universe

Shrimp glow, did ya know?!!! So proud of Stormie Collins for this review of bioluminescence in deep-sea decapods! We increase previous accounts by 65% and found most common form of GLOW is NOT what we expected.

Today Ming Khan baked us a goodbye cake 😀 She is off to the Arctic with AWI Media for 6 weeks to investigate the Arctic benthos - follow Ming onboard the Polarstern follow-polarstern.awi.de

Delighted that Nile's first paper is now out NatureEcoEvo nature.com/articles/s4155… which investigates the driving forces behind the evolution of early metazoans from the Ediacaran time period ~565 million years ago.

Absolutely delighted that Princess Aira Buma-at has won the The Geological Society President's award - so well deserved 🥳

It’s been a while but for #FossilFriday, I’m so beyond happy to have received the The Geological Society President’s Prize! ☺️ I’m so grateful to my nominators, my supervisors for guiding me, my friends for always supporting me. But most importantly for my family, this award is for them. ❤️

Fantastic to be at the Life in the Planet 2024 conference with @fred_bowyer kicking off with the Ediacaran and Cambrian radiation and the rock record

Great to be at the Origins Federation 2024 conference hosted by Leverhulme Centre for Life in the Universe talking about our work on #Ediacaran #Cambrian ecological networks

Interested in doing a PhD with Deep Time Ecology Dept of Zoology ? we have two great projects - with Andrea Manica investigating the eco-evolutionary dynamics of Ediacaran early animal communities zoo.cam.ac.uk/2025-26-projec…
