Last week I passed my viva! Huge thank you to my examiners @DrKateSpencer and @AliceAHorton , and to all of my supervisors for some fun science these past 4 years! 👩🏼🔬♻️🌱
Our new guide gives you an overview of the different types of insects, with advice on how you might create a place for them to live in a green space near you.

Our team has returned after a tough week of surveying Scottish lochs for the Upland Waters Monitoring Network @UKUplandWaters Zooplankton, eDNA, aquatic plants, temperature & O2 profiles, sediment all done.

@RiverComms are very grateful to Peter Haase and Ellen Welti (@Senckenberg) for their hard work in bringing this Europe-wide collaboration together.

Our just-published paper in @Nature finds that river invertebrate diversity across Europe has generally increased over the past 6 decades (👍) but that the recovery has slowed to halt of late (👎). https://t.co/8naXe2mlBm @QM_SBBS@QMUL
Who's excited for our next Sustainable Business Network event?!🥳
We're delighted to invite you to the LUSH Green Hub in Poole on 13th July - it's going to be a fantastic evening so make sure you get your tickets today!

This week's Better Water Quality for Wales conference features talks by several UKCEH scientists incl. Mike Bowes on algal blooms in rivers, Bridget Emmett discussing @ERAMMPCymru and a trio from @FreshwaterQual1 https://t.co/P19g1HWlay @ep_wales@ames_e_p@Daniel_Read
Only 3 days to go - this is going to be such a rubbish night out! Come and listen to @olifranklin talk about wasteland - an eye opening read that’ll make you question the contents of your bin and charity bag. I might say a bit about #historiclandfill@QMULGeography@QMUL_HSS
📚The Biology and Ecology of Streams and Rivers by Alan Hildrew and Paul Giller is an excellent read for anyone interested in river ecosystems 👏

Thrilled that Preventing Plastic Pollution has won "Excellent interdisciplinary research project" at the @QMUL Research and and Innovation Award 2023 🏆
Thanks to all the partners and collaborators who have contributed over the past 3 years, also project funder @ChannelManche
Prof Kate Spencer (@DrKateSpencer) is on @BBCPanorama today at 8pm. Kate discusses her research on the toxic legacies of historic coastal landfill sites. You might catch @GIStuart@shudan_xue and @Thomas_Kelly1 too.

Key findings:
💧Multiple independent lines of evidence are required to diagnose the cause of pollution in rivers
💧Among different sources of pollution, recent low oxygen events have the strongest effect on river macroinvertebrates
Have you ever wondered how freshwater insect emergence 🦟changes across latitude and what is the role of climate☀️🌧️? Check out this new global meta-analysis by brilliant @LNMNash, with @pabloantiqueira, @tigerfoodman, @gqromero, Lucas Zorzetti. Thanks to @royalsociety; @QM_SBBS
🚨Paper alert!🚨 Check out our new paper lead by @yizhu_zhu on the deviation of Conrad’s idealised 1:1 ratio in #anoxic sediments and the implication on rising temperatures on #methane production. #OpenAccess

🚨🔔 Here she is!!! Our #mesocosm study looking at the effects of #microplastics and #nutrients on #freshwater communities and ecosystem functioning now on 9 pages of ✨open access✨ A4🦐♻️
Well the votes are in from the audience here on what is the main cause of marine litter @Channel_Manche I am not sure I agree entirely, but the key point is we all have a role and by working together that we can fix this global environmental challenge !
