Sharing some of the findings of ECOMIX at #SETACVienna - one of 5 research projects looking at river pollution in the UK - based Department of Environment and Geography. Brilliant!

For Microscope Monday 🔬 we are very excited to share with you a fab opportunity to enhance your expertise in freshwater ecosystem assessment with our free NERC-funded five-day field workshop. Registration is now open! More details & link to application👇 fba.org.uk/fba-voice/free…

We collected the last samples from our dual-isotope labelled mesocosm experiment for QUANTUM Ana Castro-Castellon, DPhil & Sydney Enns with another team from Penny Johnes , REFRESH, Drs Charlotte Briddon and James McDonald. We found the snails like a sensor-ride.

The snails also like a paddle-ride! These are snails added to our mesocosm experiment for QUANTUM WP4 Ana Castro-Castellon, DPhil Sydney Enns

A joy to spend time with the QUANTUM Freshwaters team & Penny Johnes Vital work to find ways to farm that will deliver beef/milk sustainably & not trash our rivers The UK could lead the world, understanding & hence policy. The challenge is to get politicos to understand & deliver!

More fieldwork fun for QUANTUM and REFRESH teams today. A visit from WelshRiversUnion🐟🦆🌳, then started site decommissioning following completion of our experiments, and marked up a sample grid for soil coring on our slurry amendment plots. Curious cattle made leaving the site tricky!

Heavy rain doesn't deter team QUANTUM from making progress - one of 5 projects tackling various sources of river pollution funded by Defra UK & Natural Environment Research Council

Final day of sampling today for the University of Bristol team at our @QUANTUMFreshWtr field site, and the Exeter Biosciences team completing their field ecotoxin exposure experiments. A fantastic field site for the project. Many thanks to the farmers and villagers for their support.

Calling all freshwater ecology enthusiasts! There's still time to register for our ASM on 25 June. We're absolutely thrilled that our ASM this year includes a not to be missed keynote from Dave Tickner, WWF UK, Freshwater biology: what’s the big idea? fba.org.uk/annual-scienti…

🧵1/6 How is Scotland tackling antimicrobial resistance? 🦠 A recent CREW project workshop brought together area experts to discuss the update to the Scottish One-Health AMR Register (SOHAR). Read our full workshop article here: tinyurl.com/34rb54uj

Great article by Phoebe Weston The Guardian about ECOMIX - 1 of 5 research projects examining sources of river pollution. This project at Department of Environment and Geography led by Alistair Boxall examines chemicals. They collected 20,000 samples & have been continuously monitoring for over a year.

As we finish our QUANTUM field experiments and move on to upscaling and modelling work at national scale, we'd like to thank the residents of Rickford and our hugely helpful farmers, Paul and Roger Keel for their support. We'll return in the autumn to tell you what we've found!

1st June is Wild Salmon Day. Restoring Salmon/Sewin & habitat to Wales Rivers & streams will be the strongest signal that we are getting our home agricultural, sewage & water policies right. A collapse of 95% since 1970 through choice! #extinctionbrink wildsalmonday.com

Ibuprofen can affect fish hatching, diclofenac impacts fish livers, flea treatments kill off the insects fish & birds eat - a cocktail of meds, pesticides, cleaning products, road runoff is poisoning our rivers - no wonder fish numbers are plummeting. theguardian.com/environment/20…
