- Today a student came to me carrying a kind of pain no textbook prepares us to meet. Life is so much more than deadlines, assignments, and work. It’s fragile. It’s human. Sometimes just being there is what truly matters. Let me tell you: You are enough. You've got this.
- Very interesting take on why the Orca attack boats and why we see less of this behaviour.
- Very good turnout at the Cafe Scientifique of the Pitlochry Aberfeldy and Dunkeld group in Scotland last night. Thank you for inviting me to talk about my favourite topic: Seals, marine science and climate Also a big thank you to the Nae Limits Cafe for hosting. cafescientifique.org/uk/pitlochry...
- One of the things I like the most being a scientist is to educate others. We had a few nice trips this past week as the weather enabled us to go far out in St Andrews bay. Anyone interested in seeing the data?
- I don’t care if you “believe” in climate change or not. CO₂ is a greenhouse gas — more of it means higher global temperatures. We’ve known this since 1896. Reducing emissions is simply smart. Yet the current US government keeps bullying other countries into a worse future for our kids. Great job. 👏
- A much nicer day today for some #marine #science with @uniofstandrews.bsky.social students at the @seamammalresearch.bsky.social. @smruinstrument.bsky.social tags being used again. Learning about #oceanography and #ecosystem #management.
- First trip out with students of @uniofstandrews.bsky.social as part of their #marine #ecology training this semester. Dry but windy. We might even have collected some useful data 😊 Thanks to @seamammalresearch.bsky.social for letting us use their boat. @smruinstrument.bsky.social tags as CTDs 😳
- Luckily storm Amy brought westerly winds, but there is still the need to flush the channel. #autumn
- Getting the boat ready for fieldwork with master students at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social Let's hope for better weather! #master #msc @seamammalresearch.bsky.social
- By 2050, cumulative human impacts on the ocean could more than double—driven by warming, overfishing & pollution. Urgent action on fisheries, habitats & climate is needed to change course. 🌊 science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adv2906 #ocean #climate #conservation #impact #marine #future
- I am always up for some positive news!
- New @nature.com article outlines six key policy recommendations to align marine conservation with the ocean’s dynamism — especially calling out the need to include plankton and adaptive protected areas in global ocean governance. 🌊🔍 #OceanPolicy #Conservation www.nature.com/articles/s44...
- Big news for ocean governance! Morocco became the 60th country to ratify the High Seas Treaty, triggering its entry into force this coming January. This will protect biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction — nearly half of our planet’s surface. 🌊 #HighSeasTreaty #OceanConservation
- Had an amazing weekend at the '100 Years of RRS Discovery' celebrations in #Dundee Thanks for the support from @seamammalresearch.bsky.social and @smruinstrument.bsky.social #RRS100 #Discovery100
