The 2023 @UoABioSci Biodiversity Field Course @CromartyLH has just drawn to a close. It’s been a great week with an amazing group of really engaged, hard working and fun students. @Scedacity @Joanna_Kershaw @pt98765

Our paper on population structure of #deepsea amphipods in the Mariana Trench is out in @molecology. @Hadalbloke @marius_wenzel doi.org/10.1111/mec.16…

Harnessing next-generation diagnostic technologies for eDNA-based biosurveillance, wildlife forensics and conservation biology - PhD opportunity with @Piertney @UoABioSci findaphd.com/phds/project/q…

@TA_Burke Many, many congratulations Terry. Thoroughly well deserved!

I had a surprise email - totally unexpected. Gobsmacked and delighted, still more when I saw several teachers, mentors and scientific heroes among past recipients. And thank you to everyone involved.

@graemepaton007 kicking off the @QUADRATdtp annual science meeting. Exciting to catch up with what our students have achieved so far... and great to be back in person.

A final goodbye to the Lighthouse Field Station @CromartyLH and this year’s @UoABioSci Biodiversity Fieldcourse. It’s been a really fun week of dolphin watching, seal spotting, bat detecting, small mammal and moth trapping, muddy and rocky shore sampling - thanks all!

Time and tide waits for no one. A very rapid, rapid biodiversity assessment of the Cromarty rocky shore by the @UoABioSci Biodiversity Fieldcourse students as they're chased up the beach by the rising tide #natureonourdoorstep

An amazing afternoon for the @UoABioSci Biodiversity Fieldcourse students out observing the resident dolphins in the Cromarty Firth and identifying individuals based upon their dorsal fin markings #natureonourdoorstep

Intrepid @UoABioSci Biodiversity Fieldcourse students heading out across the Cromarty Firth for a spot of seal spotting, bird watching and rain dodging #natureonourdoorstep

And we’re off and running with the 2022 Biodiversity Field Course at the @UoABioSci Lighthouse Field Station @CromartyLH. Paul Thompson setting the scene for the week ahead #2022BiodiversityFC #natureonourdoorstep
