Let's talk about your projects and how to apply electron microscopy - the dark side of microscopy!

I study the most beautiful creatures in the animal kingdom- " Birds"

My project deals with studying impact of chemical pollutants on wading bird migration.

Ultimate goal: To help prevent chemical pollution and ensure successful migration of birds

Aquaculture 🐟 is hugely important for global food security, disease 🦠 however causing huge economic losses💸 worldwide.

Comparing microbiomes of diseased and healthy fishes, I'm looking for microbial shifts to predict diseases in fish and mitigate economic losses.

Looking at the 🤑of pest predation of 🦇 in vineyards 🍷under climate change.

Using state-of-the-art eDNA, Species distribution Modelling, lots of fun fieldwork and economic analysis.

Camera systems offer an amazing opportunity to to monitor our seas🌊📸

But who watches all the video?

I am investigating how we can use AI to identify fish in underwater video to support marine monitoring and conservation🤖

1000s of 🧪chemicals enter our 🏞️ waterways with unknown effects on the environment❓

One of these chemicals are 💊 antibiotics which disrupt free-living bacteria and microbiomes🦠

I study the effects of antibiotics on 🐟 microbiomes and their overall health

Oceanographers love the ocean | Biogeochemists love mud

Blue Carbon travels through these but what happens in between?

🪱🦐🦞🦪🪼🦀🐚🐌 Are all busy making their homes and living life but how the modify carbon sequestration is pretty unknown!

We plan to find out! #HSEAway23

Are mangroves sinks for plastic pollution? 🏝️

I am investigating this in the unique and incredibly biodiverse #Galapagos archipelago🌊🐢

We discharge lots of chemicals in freshwater on a daily basis. But freshwater is not all the same! Water chemistry might affect the uptake of ionisable compounds in fish by changing the electrical properties of 🐟gills... This is what I try to understand! #HSEAway23 #PhD

#BangladeshAquaculture: Where & what to farm? I'll be mapping & analysing water resources & pollution, and assessing habitat/biodiversity impacts. The goal? Identify the most sustainable aquaculture locations & practices to protect environment in Bangladesh 🐟🌿 #HSEAway23

To grow 🦐 must shed their shell.

I look at how they rebuild 🧑‍🔧 their shell and if we can improve calcification efficiency to reduce disease 🦠 + cannibalism 🍽️

Duckweeds are tiny plants 🌱floating on freshwater.

They reproduce clonally and can double their biomass in 48 hours.🌱➡️🌱🌱

They also have a high protein content and have potential as bioremediators.

Can duckweeds save the world? #HSEAway23

How does water chemistry impact calcification and ion regulation in marine invertebrates?

I am specifically working on how seawater calcium availability impacts mounting in farmed prawns. 🦐

Seaweed farms are expanding globally & offer a potentially sustainable food source 🍜👩‍🌾

But what are the environmental impacts?

My PhD assesses how UK farms impact biodiversity & may provide new 🏡 to fish & invert species 🦀🐟

🐟 farms ➡️ 📈 🌊 CO2 ➡️ 📉 🐟 growth & welfare ☠

Lump🐟 are farmed & used as 🧼🐟 in salmon farming, 📉 🦠 by 97 % 🎉

After Mum's heart attack yesterday, I am putting this out there.

Heart Attacks present differently in Women, and if my Dad hadn't acted as quickly as he had, things may have been a very different story today.

Someone drugged my drink this weekend.

Here’s are some symptoms of a spiked drink that I wish I knew beforehand (and was never told):
