Another great day with staff and students from The University of Sheffield. The students started their projects investigating invertebrate and plant biodiversity. More great species found too, including the remains of this fantastic male Stag Beetle. #fieldwork #Entomology #botany Science at Sheffield

We have been awarded Gold ratings across the board in the latest round of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). GOV.UK's Office for Students, which runs the TEF, praised the student experiences offered by the University as being of outstanding quality. plymouth.ac.uk/news/universit…

Fabulous first day on our experimental marine biology fieldcourse part 1 - getting acquainted to our new surroundings - Ria Formosa park HQ and Olhao fish market Ben Ciotti Reuben Shipway @mcollins_2 @Giulia_LaBianca MBERC University of Plymouth @plymouthbiol

As a scientist – and expert in masturbating primates – reckon I'm fairly qualified to say that these lot are the *biggest* wankers going. What does this even mean? Desperate and embarrassing 🤦‍♀️

We're looking for a post-doc for a 3 year BBSRC funded project on learning in sea anemones - With myself Alastair Wilson @SarahLane_Sci Prof Kerry Howell (not in use) based MBERC - Behaviour, genetics and AI so should be a fun project!

If you get fed up of repeated emails inviting you to speak at a mechanical engineering conference NEVER respond offering a talk about fighting in crabs. It will trigger more invites to meetings about robotics, urology, dentistry, etc. Obv sarcasm lost on the bots.

From GOV.UK website: “Some countries are developing new nuclear weapons and we must take sure these can never be used to threaten us”. Ironic tiny typo justifying a system where a tiny human error can = catastrophe.

This is the base reality: The number of ATP molecules used to power transmission is much greater in photoreceptors and LMCs (A type of photocell in flies) than for a regular synapse. In doing so each photoreceptor can make use of about 10^6 photons per second!

Ouch! You can’t beat a private education

Fabulous 2nd day of the 1st year marine biology fieldcourse. Using observations to choose model organisms for our questions, collecting pilot data and experimental design in preparation for students’ projects Mark Briffa @ManuelaTruebano Ella Ackroyd @plymbiolmarsci #PlyMBIO

MBERC 1st Year Marine Biology field course this week:160 super students; ⭐️staff + PhDs; 40 projects; 4 X best beaches in SW🇬🇧; 1 University of Plymouth Marine Station; 10 mins rain; Burritos. Big thanks + congrats Stacey DeAmicis (she/her) 4 making it happen 👍🦀🐟🐚⚡️

Nope! You’re welcome to use your own kids as cannon fodder Rishi but you’re not getting your hands on mine. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

This is from a GCSE paper… might use it in lectures to show students that they already know what an interaction effect (3 factors in this case!!) even though they haven’t heard it called that before

Looking back on 14 years of the Tories is like looking back at the traumatising post-vindaloo shit you just did in the toilet.
