On my way to #Larwood2018 hosted by Cardiff Curator. Can’t wait to see all my bryozoan buddies & learn about their work!

So when not “marine sciencing” I put my experimental tendencies into finding delicious wild flavours and making tasty concoctions... and G&Ts of course, lots of G&Ts. Vic (a fellow scientist) and I are tweeting about these forays here Edible Hedgerow hope you’ll follow us 😀🍸

Thanks Elizabeth 😊

It was great to collaborate with Jennifer Loxton on this, combining our extensive NNS data from around the English and Welsh coasts with hers from Scotland.

Interesting work by Jennifer Loxton on #alienspecies and the threat to #oysterfarms , my piece was also published in the Daily Mail and followed up by BBC Radio Scotland Temp

Do you ever wonder what drives the mysterious creature that is a university academic? Why are industry / uni collaborations so hard sometimes? I’m a co-author on a new journal article published today which aims to demystify academics for industry. geosci-commun.net/2/1/2019/

Great to see this publication, well done Natural Environment Research Council Knowledge Exchange Fellows - you planned, you consulted and impressively completed/finished!

Fancy some #seaweedcrisps ? I spent a fun afternoon recently with @monicawilde learning about #winterforaging in #Scotland - read all about it in a piece I wrote for Top Santé magazine magazine: ourmagazines.co.uk/aVlOv

Women’s toes matter too!! Today I tried to find workboots. B&Q and Screwfix had dozens of pairs of awesome rufty tufty, warm, steel toe capped boots. Not one pair available in store smaller than UK7. Only option - black trainers & pink laces... Really?? 😡😡 #everydaysexism

Fantastic to do some filming with the folk from BBC Landward this week. I do love to share my bryozoan geekery 🤓.

Invasive species are a challenge and it is great to get the chance to spread the word by filming with BBC Landward this week. Here I am showing the presenter, Dougie, the fascinating world of invasive bryozoans.
