Graduated from UEA with a PhD in Environmental Sciences!! 👩🏻‍🎓🥂🍾 UEA School of Environmental Sciences ARIES DTP #PhDone #PhDlife

Most incredible science discovery this decade! Changes every textbook. Manganese nodules produce oxygen in the #deepsea!!? ⁦These are the nodules targeted for mining… they make oxygen… 😳🤯⁩ ⁦The Deep-Sea Podcast⁩ ⁦Deep-Sea Biology Society⁩ ⁦Rebecca Morelle⁩ bbc.com/news/articles/…

🔔Big day!!🔔 My new book #Treewilding has finally arrived! 🌳 How to restore global forests and our relationship with them, w/ some juicy details on the wood wide web, greenwashing, tree memory & senses, new technology & Indigenous perspectives. In bookstores next Thursday! 🥳

This reaccreditation allows our biomedical science students at the University of Essex to get jobs in NHS laboratories & play a vital role in the diagnosis of disease. Our degrees open up many other career opportunities, such as research, teaching and transition to medical school

Coffee ☕✅ & ready for day 3 of the 'Working with Bacterial Genomes' #bioinformatics course at Cambridge University 👩🏻‍💻🦠🧬 Today we're covering de novo assembly & MLST 😊

My first publication has been printed, this makes up the first data chapter of my PhD thesis, I am thrilled to finally have a publication under my belt! A huge thanks to School of Life Sciences, University of Essex, OilSpillResponseLtd Natural Environment Research Council and ARIES DTP for supporting this work meridian.allenpress.com/iosc/article/2…

Trying to drum up public participation - particularly from families and children from anywhere - in monitoring broods during the School holidays - pls share widely and also on Facebook too 🦆🦆🦆

Big thanks to Andries van Tonder & team for running a fantastic 'Working with bacterial genomes' course Cambridge University this week 👩🏻‍💻🧫🧬 Great mix of practicals, theory & guest lectures 🦠 Really excited to start using my new bioinformatics know-how in my current & future research! 💡

New and first PhD paper from Zelin Chen - we looked at hydrocarbons, metals and food webs at gradients of increasing distance from many #Oil rig infrastructures in the North Sea - you can take home two messages i. Closer to rigs and wells there is high pollution /1

Very grateful for the opportunity to present our School of Life Sciences, University of Essex work on airborne #AMR 💊🧫🏥 at #EAC24 in Tampere, Finland 🇫🇮 Excited to be co-chairing the next session on health-relevant aerosols! Thanks to the The Aerosol Society for supporting my attendance! Rob Ferguson

Proud to be an #EssexGraduate 👩🏻‍🎓 - had a fantastic time studying BSc Marine Biology 🐟🐙🤿 a few years ago & I've since returned to work as a #postdoc here 🦠👩🏻‍🔬

#OceanTravellers is back with awesome new activities "Life's a Beach" & "The Wheel of Misfortune" to highlight the perils fish face in their 1st year and how we can help by cleaning up our rivers & coasts! Come have a spin at the British Science Festival #BSF24 West Building UEL!

Roll up roll up! University of Essex #OceanTravellers are at the British Science Festival in UEL West Building lounge for one day only! No need to buy a ticket just drop in and have a spin on the #WheelofMisfortune and a play on #MazeofMisfortune. School of Life Sciences, University of Essex British Science Festival #BSF24

Fantastic to see School of Life Sciences, University of Essex at the British Science Festival with #OceanTravellers today. They explore the journeys from the micro-world of plankton to giant humpback whales and uncover how humans and climate change are devastating marine ecosystems. brnw.ch/21wMB43

Brilliant School of Life Sciences, University of Essex research away day. Particularly proud of my postdoc Alexia Dubuc for giving an outstanding talk on the effects of #hypoxia on fish across different systems 🐟 Next stop the #Baltic! Grateful to our collaborator St_Haase for sending our first #cod samples!

Spent Tuesday w/ Dr Rebekah Boreham chatting to Yr11 students at Harwich & Dovercourt High School about all things #STEM🔬🌿🧬🐟 Dr Penny Beckerson also gave an interactive workshop on scientific careers (7 times!) Hopefully we have inspired 1 or 2 future scientists among them ✨
