Applying historical data to contemporary science & management -ICES #WGHIST evaluates long-term changes in social-ecological systems. 🌊Members recently developed a Historical Plankton Index to extend our record of zooplankton abundance in the North Sea. ➡doi.org/10.1177/095968…

2nd job alert of the week! 🐟📜 Research assistant needed for exciting marine historical ecology/marine environmental history project @sos_bangor_uni shorturl.at/7yDIY Come & join us! Pls RT

Colleagues, I am looking for examples of international ocean science projects or initiatives (might be natural, social, interdisciplinary) that embody inclusiveness & equity in their approach. If possible, provide links to websites and/or documents about these projects. Thank you

A paper published in the primary literature should be sufficiently reliable to influence marine policy, right? think it twice sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you have a background in ecology + good CV + might be interested in a PhD involving meta-analysis and modelling for marine protected areas, please email me CV + short statement of interest asap.

Refreshing your timeline for #WorldWaterWeek. Because you deserve a moment of calm 💧🔊

Structured expert elicitation... I'm looking forward to using this method in my next #PhD chapter on assessing #marine #ecosystem status + encountering a whole new set of challenges vs using statistical methods - any tips / advice/ watch-outs?

En route to Oban for #Challenger2024, views complete with traditional Scottish weather

Eat more pelagic #fish! Great talk by James Scott Cefas. My personal go-to list: mackerel, herring, anchovy or sardines. First three made the list in this talk I think. Honestly, delicious, more nutritious and more sustainable, you gotta try.

Really enjoyed presenting my work on thresholds for good status in ecosystem assessments at #Challenger2024 in Oban. Great audience and in the company of some other fascinating talks. And the final stop on my presentation/ conference tour this year 🥲

Finished the first full day at #Challenger2024 with the poster session and a lovely Scottish choir performance, then it actually stopped raining for an (almost) sunset 🙌

What a morning here in Oban, blue skies, a flat calm sea, and can’t forget the bagpipes #Challenger2024

‘It is nearly impossible to avoid biases in perception. Instead, people selectively perceive what they expect and hope to see’ - dusting off my textbooks from undergrad for the #expert #elicitation chapter I’m working on next 🤔

Film screenings tonight at #Challenger2024 gave a real insight into the innovative approaches and personal struggles that people are facing to make the fishing industry more sustainable for the future youtu.be/uASc_6wqQ4M?si… can’t think of a better name for a boat either tbh

Seems we lucked out with the weather up here in Arran this weekend (but don’t be fooled the water was still 🧊 cold)

"I really hope that this is the start of a conversation that we can continue" @louisa_evans kicks off #ICESASC24 science with her opening keynote that addresses advancing the frontiers of transdisciplinary marine science.

Linear Regression clearly explained 👇🏻

Meryl Streep at the United Nations: A female cat has more freedoms than a woman in Afghanistan, "A cat may go sit on her front stoop and feel the sun on her face," Streep said. "She may chase a squirrel into the park. A squirrel has more rights than a girl in Afghanistan."

Very happy to be part of this impressive work lead by Daniel van Denderen in the frame of ICES Complementarity and sensitivity of benthic state indicators to bottom‐trawl fishing disturbance - Denderen - Ecological Applications - Wiley Online Library esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ea…

Me too. Find me over there as @lornamckellar from now on 🦋
