Lance Gregory, our Head of CPR Operations, had the honour of attending a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace this week. This was in recognition of all our work and achievements over the years in helping DEFRA meet its goals. Even the rain didn't spoil the occasion! @thembauk

Last week we were thrilled to host researchers from @UniofExeter🔬

This valuable opportunity provided scientists from both organisations to share current research projects & explore potential areas for future collaboration in marine biology.

Spring has arrived at the CPR lab! We're usually all about the phytoplankton spring bloom, but this week we've been watching Beryl the Blackbird tending her 4 chicks who've recently hatched above the door outside our lab! #spring #naturelovers @thembauk

CPR Researcher Clare Ostle is at the Zooplankton Symposium in Hobart, balancing work & family life! She's presenting tomorrow on changes in zooplankton communities in the N. Pacific. Dr Pierre Hélaouët pre-recorded his talk for the symposium on iCPR & digital imaging #ZPS7

[The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey @CPRSurvey]

Did you know our plankton observation, ancillary datasets & associated metadata are freely available?
Data from our sister survey around the world are also open access, helping to drive forward marine ecological science and understanding.
#openaccess #data #longtermtimeseries

[Clare Ostle @ClareOstle]

Loving the talks at the #ZPS7 @ICES_ASC @PICES_MarineSci Zooplankton symposium, lots of great uses of @CPRSurvey data, glad to see all of the CPR data is made freely available across all sister surveys

This #taxonomistappreciationday we're celebrating our brilliant Senior Analyst, Marianne Wootton. She's trained almost the entire current CPR Analysis team, as well as countless others at plankton taxonomy workshops. After 22 yrs she's stepping down, thank you for everything Maz!
