- Isles of Scilly - Also beautiful underwater! #IslesofScilly
- Isles of Scilly - beautiful coast! #IslesofScilly
- Almost a month ago I returned from an amazing field trip to the Isles of Scilly 🌊 Studying L. hyperborea at its southern UK range was a privilege. Big thanks to @hjncatherall.bsky.social and @pippajmoore.bsky.social for such a great experience! #KelpForests #MarineBiology #Fieldwork #UKScience
- Back from the IAPETUS Postgrad Conference 2025 — and honoured to be selected as the Best Poster! Grateful for the feedback and great ideas about my kelp forest & urchin barrens research! What do you think, BlueSky friends? @iapetusdtp.bsky.social @sciencesncl.bsky.social #PhDLife #ScienceComm
- Newcastle team representing nature & environmental research at IAPETUS postgraduate conference 2025! @iapetusdtp.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social
- Just back from the IAPETUS Postgraduate Conference 2025 in Edinburgh! Great talks, inspiring people, and lots of ideas brewing. Grateful to be part of such a vibrant research community! @iapetusdtp.bsky.social #PhDLife #IAPETUS #Edinburgh #AcademicLife #Networking #MarineBiology
- Because training never ends — RYA VHF Radio course done! One step closer to supporting fieldwork as a research skipper 😅 Grateful for every new skill that brings me closer to the water. #PhDLife #MarineBiology #Fieldwork #ResearchVessel #AlwaysLearning
- Finished my HSE Scientific Diving course! Grateful to the amazing instructors and fellow trainees — what weeks! Cold, intense, and unforgettable. Now fully certified and ready to start counting urchins and kelp 😆🧜♂️! #PhDLife #ScientificDiving #MarineBiology #HSRDiver
- This week I began my HSE diving qualification to become a certified scientific diver in the UK! 🧜♂️ It’s exciting, intense, and very cold — Diving is a key part for monitoring underwater habitats. Time to put some cold water under the dry suit and get to work! #ScientificDiving #PhDLife #UKScience
- Starting to organise Marine Biological Association Postgraduate Conference 2026. This time hosted by Newcastle University, see you here next April! @robynmastinwynn.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social

- Hi BlueSky! I’m Rodrigo, a Chilean marine biologist doing my PhD in the UK with @pippajmoore.bsky.social @iapetusdtp.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social and @naturalengland.bsky.social. My research explores novel urchin barrens in the UK kelp forests — why they happen and how resilient they are 🌿🧪
