The end of a fantastic week of amazing seabird science and meeting the brilliant researchers behind it all.
Huge thanks to @ECOTOP_UC and @TheSeabirdGroup for organizing and having me present results from my first PhD chapter.
Paper coming soon!!

We’re taking a moment to reflect on the PhD researchers who contribute to groundbreaking discoveries, develop new technologies, and offer fresh perspectives on pressing global challenges. You may recognise @DedieuAstrid from last year’s #IUA3MT national competition! @UCCResearch
The winners of Research Image of the Year 2023 are Dr Richard Unitt and Emma Murphy.
Their image, ‘Deadly Rainbow: The Tragic Beauty of Oil-Coated Plumage’, was taken during a study of how crude oil affects the permeability of Manx shearwater feathers.
