🚨🚨Fully funded PhD studentship🚨🚨 Investigating the impacts of electromagnetic fields from offshore windfarms on the behaviour of commercially important crustaceans in collaboration with @N_IFCA @HeriotWattUni @UniofNewcastle iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/t… 🦞🦞🦀🦀

An exceptionally busy and bouncing ⁦@UniofNewcastle⁩ #openday Great to speak to so many prospective students followed by Sphagnum mimicking the ⁦@SciencesNCL⁩ cow

Great couple days with >1500 guests ⁦@SciencesNCL⁩ Open Days. Loads of people leaving saying they will be putting ⁦@UniofNewcastle⁩ as first choice. Thanks to the student ambassadors, professional support team and academics for creating such a welcoming environment

#wearencl Open day part 2 ready for a day of exciting activities with Natural Sciences @SciencesNCL

Was great to be involved with @NCLDoveMarine team at #cullercoatsfestival last week. Got to share lots of information about #kelp forests and the @LifeWader project🌱🐚🌊🔬🧪 Can't believe we had over over 1,000 people come and visit! @ecology_ncl @SciencesNCL @LIFEprogramme

Check out our new paper looking at the value of co-creating environmental citizen science projects with local community groups 🦀🌊 @Hes_1 @NCLDoveMarine @newcastlemarine

Fantastic talk on the beach to round up our activities for Cullercoats Festival. Thank you to everyone who has called by today to find out more about marine research at @UniofNewcastle

A fantastic turn out for an evening chat with our scientists on the beach today @PriestRJ, Peter and Marco, as part of Cullercoats Festival, thanks everyone for joining us @NCLDoveMarine @SciencesNCL @ecology_ncl

A soggy and sunny NE road trip with @Jack_Longsden to deploy 48 of the @LifeWader #invasivenonnativespecies monitoring units 🐚🦀🌊 @Hes_1 @NCLDoveMarine @newcastlemarine @ecology_ncl @NE_Northumbria @LIFEprogramme

A great mix of old and new faces on our hunt for opportunistic #macroalgae in Budle Bay this month🌱🐚🌊followed by some very muddy and rather stinky sample processing 🔬🧪🐚 @LifeWader @NCLDoveMarine @newcastlemarine @ecology_ncl @Hes_1 @Charj98 @GrockeSIBL @Hazel__Natanael

@LifeWader monthly #fieldwork with the dream team 🌱🌞🌊 not much algae but definitely lots of mud! @LIFEprogramme @Charj98 @hazel_natanael @NCLDoveMarine @newcastlemarine @ecology_ncl @NE_Northumbria @lindisfarne_nnr @EnvAgencyYNE @Hes_1 @Pippa_J_Moore @aileencmill

Some of the weird and wonderful epifauna found within the nuisance green #macroalgae in Budle Bay 🔬🐚🪱🌱 big thanks to Charlotte for helping us get through the #taxonomy work! @LifeWader @LIFEprogramme @Hes_1 @newcastlemarine @NCLDoveMarine @lindisfarne_nnr

Huge congratulations @hannahsearp

My first paper published! Happy to share this research with the world🤩 🐠🐠 'Effect of social context on behaviour in anemonefish hierarchies' with @TheresaRueger, @MarianWong10 and Siobhan Heatwole. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study on social hierarchies led by the fantastic @LuciaYllan with @MarianWong10 and Siobhan Heatwole. Effect of social context on behaviour in anemonefish hierarchies sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My #festive #fieldwork team🎄Xmas hats, mince pies and a sled full of samples for the @LIFEprogramme @LifeWader opportunistic #macroalgae team! Stay times for more updates in 2024!

A HUGE thank you to all those who have assisted with the project/fieldwork over the past few months! @Hes_1 @Pippa_J_Moore @aileencmill @Hazel__Natanael @ilona_sechet @Jack_Longsden @RuzSallen @Charj98 @NE_Northumbria @EnvAgencyYNE @lindisfarne_nnr

Less than a week to go until the @LIFEprogramme @LifeWader team head back to Budle Bay for their seasonal & monthly #macroalgae #monitoring 🌱🌊, but in the meantime a throwback to our Nov #fieldwork where we practiced our favourite #yoga poses while #sediment coring 🧘‍♀️🧘?
