Just seen this moth getting harried by a wasp! The wasp seemed to lose interest though and let the moth crawl away, wings looking a bit worse for wear! @MOTHIDUK

Delighted to be back at @BAS_News to share the results of my PhD research, and all the other great #microplastics science happening in South Georgia, as part of the 5-year review of the MPA!

Great talks all round so far!

Concern about microplastics is high amongst European citizens and effective actions are needed to reduce it. However, there is still uncertainty and debate about the major sources, impacts, and in particular solutions. We surveyed 73 experts working on plastics showing:

🛰️ Let’s talk about space debris

I joined @BBCNews to talk about space sustainability and how we can use our knowledge of protecting the ocean to help

Microplastics in our food may affect how much fat we absorb.

I worry we're at the very start of our understanding on the damage microplastics are having on human health.

Happy #TransDayofVisibility! 🏳️‍⚧️

In today's blog, BAS Oceanographer Dr Dani Jones celebrates the trans and gender diverse people who have contributed to Earth system sciences for decades, and talks about fostering an inclusive work environment 👇

A few of us (including @FeeTenbrink @Julie_Hope_ @ClareyCollins) leading workshops & presenting at today's @IMMERSE_NSR 5th Transnational Estuary Exchange Lab on microplastics & sediment-bound pollutants in estuaries. Looking forward to some fruitful discussions.

Phd thesis submitted today! Plus the book chapter out this week = not a bad working week… 🥳 #phdchat #microplastics

A new iceberg the size of Greater London has calved from Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf.

Last night, the crack Chasm-1 fully extended through the 150m thick ice - a decade after BAS scientists first detected that cracks in the ice sheet were growing.

Have you got your tickets for Saturday yet? See us in the Discovery Zone 10am-4pm @UniOfHull, amongst many other exciting activities as part of the #HullSciFest - we have recycled and reused items to create a local interactive map and a dolls house to discuss plastics waste.

This is Francis Trevelyan Buckland; the UK first fisheries scientist attempting to resuscitate a stranded harbour porpoise with brandy.

The report from @150_challenger is that fisheries science has improved slightly in the last 120 years.
