Hull University Marine Science department climbed aboard Humber Guardian last week to allow their BSc Marine Biology Students to gain some invaluable first-hand Fieldwork training. #BriggsMarine #Research #Marinebiology @rodney_forster @hullmarinelab @hull_marine_bio

@KEHplantsci Aww congratulations Katharine!

Introducing Mini-Plantsci-2! Born earlier this week weighing 6lb 14oz. Bit scary as have had viral pneumonia on top of being 9 months pregnant, but now my lungs can expand again I can start to recover properly, and she is thriving. Hopefully home soon to meet her big sister x

Introducing the #Fishfight knockout competition helping to promote the UK fishing industry and locally caught fish. Which of these two species do you prefer to eat? Recipes & reasons for/against are welcome! @NFFO_UK Full list of species and stages here > docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

A grey and gloomy dawn at #Hornsea this morning, but great to speak to @RadioHumberside about the new intertidal habitats added to the southernmost groyne #ConcreteCoast #GreytoGreen #EcoEngineering @UniOfHull @EnvAgencyYNE @East_Riding

Timber groynes are an important coastal defence on the #Holderness coast, but they can also be an important habitat for #wildlife. @UniofHull surveys revealed that tiny barnacles and mussels have started to move in after just 1 month! 3/3 #GreytoGreen #EcoEngineering #Research

We're testing how adding texture and patterns to timber groynes can increase habitat for #coastal wildlife, without changing how the groynes work. Inspired by our feasibility study with @ArtecologyDept @arcteam 2/3 🧵 #GreytoGreen #Research #EcoEngineering

We've been working on something exciting with @East_Riding @EnvAgencyYNE @UniOfHull as part of our #ConcreteCoast project ⬇️1/3🧵#GreytoGreen #Research #EcoEngineering

End of a long final day at @FSC_Millport with project teams logging diurnal changes in salinity, phosphate, phyto and zooplankton, underwater video for fish, and surface bird/seal counts, with total dedication under demanding weather conditions.

Back in at #Millport for our second year field trip @marine_bio_hull with @Nicky_Dobson @Dr_mudlark @rodney_forster @elliemaecook

@VC_Hull @UniOfHull The marine team will be there in force - come and say hello! @Nephropseu @Dr_mudlark @Nicky_Dobson @rodney_forster @spuggiesue

I’m looking forward to being a small part of a huge team effort to host our latest Open Day @UniOfHull tomorrow. They are a great way for our students of the future to see our wonderful campus for themselves and learn about everything we have to offer here at Hull.

Join us for an open day this autumn and check our our Biochemistry, Biology, Marine Biology and Zoology BSc courses Book your place now ➡️ ift.tt/0VtFeoa Plus, we’ll give you up to £125 towards your travel costs to help you get here! T&Cs ap… instagr.am/p/CjAOM0sj_Ik/

Fun afternoon at @TheDeepHull yesterday with our new #marinebiology #Students. Welcome to the course! #welcomeweek

We’re looking forward to welcoming our students back next week, and meeting our new ones too! Have a look at the induction timetable for details.

#Water💧 sampling with @WillM_CEMS @Nicky_Dobson on the #river #Hull. @UniOfHull @GeographyHull @HullUniScience @hullbams @HullUni_Library #KingstonUponHull #environment #environmentalScience🍃 #science🧪

Huge thank you to @HoldernessFIG for hosting our @hullbams #fieldstudies students today. We had a fantastic day on the Huntress processing the catch from their research pots and trialling techniques!

Day 6 in Mallorca. Goat whispering in “The Boc”, lichen surveys and a purple Galinule. @GeographyHull @hullbams @marine_bio_hull

Day 5 in Mallorca with @hullbams @GeographyHull students. Quality goats in Boquer valley and students doing pilot studies.
