Great seminar by⁦ ⁦Hannah Earp⁩ on her PhD research on all things kelp. Great audience with people listening in from Chile, Germany & ⁦NCL Dove Marine Lab⁩. Great last two slides - the treat of ⁦Skunk Anansie⁩ karaoke across 3 continents must be a highlight!

Some of the weird and wonderful epifauna found within the nuisance green #macroalgae in Budle Bay 🔬🐚🪱🌱 big thanks to Charlotte for helping us get through the #taxonomy work! LIFE WADER LIFE Programme Heather Sugden NCL Marine NCL Dove Marine Lab Lindisfarne NNR

Delighted to share our paper describing structure and diversity of holdfast/understorey assemblages associated with kelp Eisenia cokeri in Peru. High species richness and vital habitat forming species. Great collab between 🇵🇪 & 🇨🇱 & 🇬🇧 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

A MASSIVE thank you to Pippa Moore for all your help and support over the last few years, and for the excellent cake and celebrations on Friday 🍰🍻🤕 A big thank you also to the army of people who have helped me along the way, and the Dove crew for my awesome presents🎁

Do you have experience in marine – ideally seaweed - biodiversity, conservation and aquaculture?

That looks so cool! Excited to see what you discover 🌱🧪🔬💻

A cracking night at the ⁦NCL Dove Marine Lab⁩ Christmas do, proper belly ache laughing. What a great team of PGRs who create the most excellent & supportive atmosphere here. Great quiz questions - who knew it was 422 steps from the Dove to co-op - feeling over tired now 🎅 🎄 🍻

Another great #research talk by Aileen Mill on the LIFE Programme LIFE WADER project at Newcastle University #SNESFestive event 🎄🌱
