@RoryStewartUK @JamesTCobbler @Keir_Starmer Is it true that Timpson staff had to work through the pandemic because they were key workers?

These are excellent bits of advice for anyone looking to publish in the peer reviewed literature. Simple things that make a big difference.

Major plus one for avoiding using your own invented acronyms

[Michael White @MWClimateSci]

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

[Emily Beazley @AmeliaLJones1]

Hi,
I am a Marine Biology student at the University of Plymouth.
I'd really appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes complete my short survey which is part of my dissertation research on how and why people visit our Rocky Shores.

I've received some amazing support from @SSECornwall that empowered me to get the @rockpoolproject up and running. They've asked me to share this job opportunity and I'm happy to do so. Would be a great group to work with.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed recording an @IntoTheWildPod podcast with @MrRyanJDalton and me old mucker @Christophe_Patt

So you'll just have to wait and hear it for yourself. I the meantime do check out Into The Wild for loads of great wildlife and conservation chat.

[Ryan Dalton @MrRyanJDalton]

This was genuinely so lovely.

Talking to two people that spend their life working in connecting people with rockpools & the life that's in them! Man I love hosting this show.

[Ben Holt @HamletBen]

Wonderful to have you aboard the good ship RPP @AliNaulls !!!

[Alisdair Naulls @AliNaulls]

Big thanks to CIC @rockpoolproject for inviting me to be part of its simple, brilliant aim: get more people rock pooling.
These #MiniOceans are perfect pools to inspire ocean adventure, discovery & love. Pls give 'em a follow. @ILoveCornwallUK
@CornwallLive @BBCCornwall et al!

[Ben Holt @HamletBen]

@MirrorFootball @JamesNursey Both teams went for it from the first second to the last. It was the kind of match everyone wants to see. Tielemans went for glory but got the pass wrong, @HKane went for glory and got the pass right but well done to all the players for a brilliant match. Fans want glory!!

[Ben Holt @HamletBen]

Great research from great people on a great species! Well done @Christophe_Patt @ReganEarly @FABiogeography 🙌🙌

And well done to St Piran's hermit crab for making it over from France 🇫🇷 😃

[Christophe Patterson @Christophe_Patt]

🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨
Remember the St Pirans Crab?〓〓@BBCSpringwatch

We figured out how and when it got to the UK!

But other rock pool critters might not be able to make the jump across the Channel.

See the feature on @BBCSpotlight tonight and @BBCCornwall

I am so shocked and sad that Matt Gage is no longer with us. I honestly can't think of anyone who combined being a top scientist with being a brilliant friend and colleague as naturally or successfully as he did.

Brilliant fun! Thanks Fowey Class. You were amazing!

[The Rock Pool Project @rockpoolproject]

How wonderful to take Fowey Class from @CarbeileJunior School on a live, virtual rock pooling session. We discovered astonishing creatures, played rock pool bingo, imagined we were crabs, barnacles & fish and learned heaps about classification & adaptation. Next stop, the beach!

[Ben Holt @HamletBen]

Great work @ageoffreysmith! Entrepreneurs give locals unforgettable rockpool experience https://t.co/IaUoHdhHMK
