Great turnout from School of Life Sciences, University of Essex at #BES2022 - talks and posters from microbes to shellfish and fishes and waterfowl, water quality, sentinel animals, nurseries, foodwebs and harvesting - great dancing too πΊ#ceilidh #disco #Ecology


Had a great time at #BES2022 presenting some of my research on Southern Ocean myctophid diets and temperature! Thanks to the organisers for such a fantastic conference. Research at Essex British Antarctic Survey π§

Great lecture today about fish recruitment & the nursery role hypothesis by Dr Howard Freeman complete with a smelly fyke net demo! I then gave a high octane revision quiz on Mentimeter which was super fun. Winner (my student but not rigged) got a fabulous shark hat π School of Life Sciences, University of Essex


Running my first workshop as part of the greenest generation scheme with University of Essex, this aims to provide prospective students with a outlook on the various industries and roles they can get involved in through environmental science and industry!



Fantastic time presenting some of my previous work on Marine Oil Snow the MASTS 2024 AGM IN Glasgow University of Essex MASTS School of Life Sciences, University of Essex


Meet Zelin Chen Zelin Chen. He studies the effects of man-made structures on community biodiversity and food web structure in the North Sea ecosystem. He is enthusiastic in cruise sampling on sea.


Fantastic @mmeg2023 plenary talk by Hilary Lappin-Scott also on bluesky - plenty of encouraging advice π©βπ¬


Essex representing at the Ocean Sciences Meeting (and killing it!) #osm24 Hugo Woodward-Rowe Zelin Chen @HaleighJorgeson


Learned so much from Alain Zuur & Elena Ieno this week on our course about GLMM & GAMMs with spatial-temporal data at the University of Essex. Everyone book yourself a course/buy a book! Now trying to figure out which dataset I use my precious 1-on-1 hour to discuss with them! π€ π€π


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, OSRL Natural Environment Research Council and @ARIES_DTP for supporting this work meridian.allenpress.com/iosc/article/2β¦
