New paper free access until 27th Oct: "A life-stage conflict of interest in kelp: High meiospore settlement where sporophyte attachment is weak" Avaliable: authors.elsevier.com/a/1XhPB7sxn0Nt… @Algalourus @aquacultureadam @ScotMarineInst @UofGravity

I thought growing kelps was hard, but growing palmaria might be much more difficult says @SeaweedPhil from @Hortimare. How do you grow something that grows on another living thing? #bps2022 #day2

So much #seaweed chat.....

"...we demonstrated that a bacterium that produces an antioxidant carotenoid could mitigate thermal and light stresses in cultured Symbiodiniaceae isolated from a reef-building coral." Cool functional study on bacteria associated with #Symbiodiniaceae! bit.ly/36grhV8

A sight to behold!

Very exciting #PhD with great supervisors @MaryKDoherty @kate_duncan @UHI_Research @ScotMarineInst

I can hardly believe what I have just experienced, swimming in a river UNDER the Antarctic ice sheet. Every shade of blue imaginable - it was utterly magnificent, and absolutely terrifying. Antarctica is melting. #Antarctica2020

I placed almost two years of my life into this, so great to see it published finally. No study is perfect, but the complexities of this research go beyond what is written in the paper, check out this blog post here: natureecoevocommunity.nature.com/users/339204-c…

Thorough and thoughtful feature on the benefits and possibilities of seaweed! by @vicky_allan in todays @heraldscotland. Why Scotland's green future could be blue heraldscotland.com/news/18170874.… @maraseaweed @pierreerwes @cbav

"Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me. Emily Dickenson

In South Korea 🇰🇷 you can buy your #seaweed in with the #veg at the food market! 🌱+🥒 = 🛒 Some pre boiled (green) and some fresh (still brown). @GlobSeaweedSTAR @ScotMarineInst

Very informative workshop and interesting discussion on #seaweed cultivation @ScotMarineInst with great talks and demonstrations by @SeaweedPhil and Adrian Macleod

A great mix of presentations at the #SSIA2018 this year discussing #seaweed farming, harvesting (hand & mechanical), regulation, processing, food, bioactives and more. much heated discussion but a great event! Frode Hovland from Norway in photo

I would put this cartoon in the atrium of every economics department and finance ministry.
