The end of a fantastic week of amazing seabird science and meeting the brilliant researchers behind it all. Huge thanks to @ECOTOP_UC and @TheSeabirdGroup for organizing and having me present results from my first PhD chapter. Paper coming soon!! #CoimbraSeabirds

A great turn-out for the 16th International #Seabird Group Conference! 🥳#CoimbraSeabirds We’re only halfway through, and already had lots of fantastic seabird talks! Huge thanks to the @ECOTOP_UC team at @UnivdeCoimbra for putting on such an excellent event 🤩

The winners of Research Image of the Year 2023 are Dr Richard Unitt and Emma Murphy. Their image, ‘Deadly Rainbow: The Tragic Beauty of Oil-Coated Plumage’, was taken during a study of how crude oil affects the permeability of Manx shearwater feathers. #UCCResearchAwards

Check out the research I do as part of the Marine Ecology Group here in UCC and how it can contribute to conserving our Irish seabird populations! Thank you to @RTEBrainstorm for featuring my piece on the complexity surrounding biodiversity and growing ORE production

See you on Monday the 9th at The Hub Marquee in main campus for @UCCSU Union Week! Come chat to us to learn more about the challenges Postgrad Researchers are facing in Ireland and what we’re working on! #PGRsDeserveBetter

A determined bunch here in Cork braving the elements to help in the fight for better PhD pay and conditions in Ireland #PGRsDeserveBetter #ResearchIsWork @PWO_Ireland @PWO_UCC

🚨New paper out in @CurrentBiology, increasing nocturnal fulmar/vessel interactions around the North Atlantic over 16 years. With @GannetGuy, @uccBEES, and a great team! Read all about what vessel attendance means for fulmars & their behaviour/habitat: 👉doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Excited to announce that our paper (and my first first author paper) is out now! We found that leatherback sea turtles will dive faster to forage longer 🐢 Major thanks to my co authors and top notch supervisors @tomkdoyle @Ash_w_b and Mike James dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4…

Today I’m presenting some preliminary results from my 1st PhD fieldwork, a pilot study to try HydroMoths (cheap and tiny #hydrophones ) for cetacean acoustic monitoring. I’ve got one with me as well! @EuroCetSoc #ECS2023 Poster no 59 🐬 @GannetGuy @ailbhesk @rogan_e

PhDs from across Ireland will be marching to the Dáil this Thursday to demand that @DeptofFHed complete the review of PhDs on time and put an implementation and budget plan in place ASAP. #PGRsDeserveBetter 1/3

Happy #InternationalWomensDay !!Enjoyed celebrating as part of an amazing and proud group of #WomenInScience

Had a very insightful and enjoyable time attending the consultation workshop for Ireland's OREDP II. Some excellent topics discussed and interesting feedback provided. Certainly an exciting time for renewable energy in Ireland!

🥇 Winner of the Research Poster Room Award (with @WindEnergyIRL & Ocean Winds) is…. Danielle Orrell @UCC. Her research into offshore ecology & natural environment impressed judges 👏 👏

New paper just out! A biologging approach to understand the moult strategies of Atlantic puffins. We talk about what works, what doesn't, why this topic is so tricky! Thanks to @GannetGuy + team at @uccBEES & @MaREIcentre, plus all coauthors elsewhere 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9…
