Fascinating! Beroe comb jellies and their mouth!

Great write up in today’s ⁦@heraldscotland⁩ on our polar night research, as part of the newspaper’s #climateforchange campaign.

Our scientists worked without light in the #Arctic winter during the ⁦⁦@NERC_CAO⁩ Arctic Prize project.

[Scottish Association for Marine Science @SAMSoceannews]

Bon voyage to scientists taking part in a virtual #Arctic cruise this week on board the RV Publish!

Unable to go to sea for their winter expedition, researchers from SAMS & other institutes around the world will meet online for workshops & to analyse data from previous cruises.

[Dr Laura Hobbs @HobbsLJ]

Great the see this article in @theipaper today.

All about Arctic copepods and how their life history timings are dependent on food availability (which, like many things in the Arctic, is changing). https://t.co/kFTKFmDh4w

[Dr Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

On the fifth day of #Krillmass, my true love sent to me

Five werewolves, (to be shouted with gusto, of course)
Four scary worms,
Three copepods,
Two olympic races,
And a fact about diversity

#TwelveDaysofKrillmass

[Dr Laura Hobbs @HobbsLJ]

In an attempt to share some #zooplankton facts, I'm going to start the #TwelveDaysOfKrillmass on Monday. 12 days leading up to Christmas, a new bit of zooplankton info each day. NOT exclusively krill, but Calanusmass doesn't sound as good 😜.

[ARCTIC CHASE @ARCTICCHASE_]

Cheers @PlanktonPundit, yeah science has come a long way!

[Dr Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

@ARCTICCHASE_ @ScientificData @NERC_CAO @Arctic_Office @NERCscience @HobbsLJ @ChelseyMcGY @Clocks_n_crabs @scotland2arctic @UNISvalbard @SAMSoceannews Nice paper, and to think that when I started, sequencing 300 bp after 2 weeks, (mRNA extraction, rt-pcr, cloning and S35 gel electrophoresis) was an eagerly anticipated achievement - and that could all go wrong at the final moment if the gel stuck to the wrong glass plate!

@lhueppe @planetcopepod

[ARCTIC CHASE @ARCTICCHASE_]

Very proud of Laura and team for publishing this #newpaper in @ScientificData. They generated a daily #transcriptome for a crucial copepod in the #Arctic and describe how they did it! Gene studies help understand how #plankton make it through an Arctic day

Delightful weather on Seol Mara this morning @SAMSoceannews collecting #zooplankton and #krill for @ARCTICCHASE_ & @ChelseyMcGY 's #acoustics projects!! @NERC_CAO

If you've ever wondered how rapid #climatechange is affecting the #Arctic ecosystem, this accessible paper published in @FrontYoungMinds is a great start.

Our own Dr Jordan Grigor is an author on the paper.

Scientists @AlexanderHaywa4 and @scotland2arctic communicating in plain language! A very thorough and current article that clearly explains how phytoplankton are big players in the effects of climate change:
