@kkaineus @FreijaMendrik Still in search of Statements? Happy to be involved 😊

Please RT! I'm looking to get short statements from queer marine scientists & biologists (& related fields) about their experiences being queer in their fields. Any level of experience or career is okay, anonymous statements are possible. DM me here on Twitter or email me!

@CleoStratmann @PhDVoice @laboLeesu @LimnoPlast @MSCActions You've got this! Every tiny bit counts!

@LegoLostAtSea They hold snorkels on to masks for Scuba divers and Snorkeling.

We know what these are - but only because someone here told us! Does anyone else recognise them? These don't float and drift along the sea bed, occasionally washing up with the kelp. About 3" long. #oceanplastic

Very well put! I did not know this. I post this to spread awareness. What you do from there is up to you.

@oofatherray @C_HaWQ @SETAC_world @SETAC_plastics @SETAC_GLB @TheHitScientist How is this different from standard density separation?

#SETACPittsburgh We developed a novel method to separate #microplastics from #organic matter. Attend my presentation tomorrow to know more. Room 306/307 11:40 am. @C_HaWQ @SETAC_world @SETAC_plastics @SETAC_GLB @TheHitScientist

@rodney_forster @LucasMander @spuggiesue @Nicky_Dobson @BocherPierrick Congratulations @LucasMander 🥳

Years of tagging and tracking the iconic curlew brought to a successful conclusion - huge congratulations to Dr. Lucas Mander after his PhD defence today.

@PlasticsEnvRes @EEIatHull @UniOfHull @jessjanehurley How about.... Can you 'find'/'See' the plastic on the 'Beach' (paddling pool filled with sand. You can have macro, meso, micro (simulated, as not to created waste) and 'invisible' nano Can then ask people to 'Clean up' the 'Beach' and then talk about all the micro and nano left

We are a group of researchers from @EEIatHull @UniOfHull investigating everything to do with #plasticpollution from Antarctica to the Mekong! Follow us to keep updated on our work. Over the next few weeks we will be introducing ourselves 👋 First up is @jessjanehurley

This need to be shared...

Today was evicted from my old lab. Apparently there are other students that need space 🤨🤔😇#Memorylane, I'd been using the lab since 2017 and found some treasures stored away. Here is my 1st successful implementation of automation for my masters 🥲 Before i knew about #I2C 🤣

How is your week going?... #Tape, #Gluegun, #Plastic, #Tinfoil, #3Dprinting, #ultraviolet #fluorescence, #Woodendowl #Research #Laboratory

@StuartMcLelland @bedform @EEIatHull @davisinst Even the Cohen roof Davis Instrument?

And now the first phase of @EEIatHull #SuDSLab is complete! We've just conected @davisinst gateway to a broadband Wi-Fi and we are collecting data from our full weather station and air quality data!

@hullbams @GeographyHull Excellent, event. Well done all! 👏

Lovely picture by @bartpics_uk of our post graduate committee - they did a great job of organising our PGR day last week, and raised over £200 for charity in the process. @geographyhull @hullbams and EEI instagr.am/p/CdqNB8qjQDy/

Getting my plan finalised this morning with a cheeky coffee amd pastry 🥐☕️ Experiment two almost ready to go 🥳 watch this space 😎

@ScootJD @LJA_1 @rodney_forster @OceanInsights Any time!

@MccumskayRick @LJA_1 @rodney_forster @OceanInsights Hi Rick, could I DM you with some questions about it?

#remotesensing people - what are your field spectrometer recommendations for veg spectral reflectance. Preferably ones that wouldn’t break the bank. I’m sad PPsystems no longer make the UniSpec DC!

We are buzzing for the #HullPGRDay2022 next week! 🥳Take a look at the fantastic schedule of the day! 👀😍 @UniOfHull @hullbams @GeographyHull @GeologyHull @EEIatHull @HullGGEPGR @HullBAMSPGR

@BrianHoustonEng The essentials i see... 😆

Bring it on #Monday!

@adamjennison @rodney_forster I'll happily put a bit on the #FTIR. I would ideally need an 'Unweathered' bit for comparison to 😊

@rodney_forster @MccumskayRick 🙂 shall I keep a bit for "testing"? It's only been in place for a year to

I'm replacing these straps, they hold the side flaps in place. The nylon strapping was sold as UV protected.. the South side have all broken while the North is still ok. 😑

Amazing meeting today with a fellow Colleague @Dr_Julie_Hope 👩‍🔬 Her insights on the questions I had were invaluable 😊 After our meeting, I spent this afternoon implementing her suggestions for my experiment 💡 #WomenInSTEM #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2022

Components are ready to go! 👨‍🔧🔋⚡️ These will form my control and data logging system for the many parameters of my year-long weathering experiment. #Airtemp #Watertemp #Ph #Humidity #Arduino #electronics #arduinomega #microcontroller #PhD #plasticweathering #research #DIY
