This week on the blog! We are talking Tolkien, particularly his moral vision, by a study in contrasts of 'failures' - and why Celebrimbor falls whereas Boromir 'conquers' (and how Peter Jackson gets this right, but Rings of Power gets it wrong).

@BretDevereaux @SpenceMcDaniel @sentantiq Growing up in Malta, I know that it's summer that is the dry and desolate season, but I never thought to question the history books. Just goes to show how ingrained historical distortions can be!

@davemarinebio @cssbutler I'm keen to add the survey measurements to the data repository alongside the mapped data products - may be useful for future work in the Clyde!

[Matt Pace @mat_pace]

How much organic carbon is in the upper seabed layers of the Firth of Clyde? We mapped this along with a load of other properties - our paper is out now for open peer-review! Read the pre-print and also get some handy high-res seabed maps! @davemarinebio

@davemarinebio @cssbutler Following from Dave, organic C/N, permeability and porosity were measured from stations across the firth and sea lochs. A map of these stations isn't in the paper (we didn't use the measurements for space-covering information). Maybe something for supplementary material...

@manuchretien Not that I have an expertise on this, but my guess is - depends on the complexity of the statistical model. I think the raw means are fine if you have 1 -2 covariates (not much slicing data needed)... Otherwise I'd go with fitted means! I do wonder about marginal residuals...

Little known fact: before becoming Captain America, Steve Rogers spent some time as head butler at Pollok House in Scotland.

@RobynJWomack And definitely stick around till the end of the credits!

[Matt Pace @mat_pace]

@RobynJWomack There's nothing stopping you from doing exactly that! Except maybe time... And your book budget!

Just gave a talk on modelling Firth of Clyde sediments in the dreaded "pre-coffee break" slot at #Challenger2018. Wasn't disembowelled by disgruntled delegates so that's a win!

"Fisheries do not affect just fish" Amazing talk about the impact of fisheries on sediments and benthic community by @mat_pace at @IBAHCM Friday seminar! @davemarinebio

@SaraGandy38 May I suggest that study 2 involves testing the effect of molten lava on 6000 tick nymphs?

Heading back after a great sampling trip in the Clyde

Absolutely stunned to have been awarded best student e-poster at the MASTS Annual Science Meeting! Thanks #MASTS #mastsasm !

[Matt Pace @mat_pace]

Identifying invertebrates from the Clyde Sea is bucket-loads of fun! How many hours will this one take?

Alicia Said on #SSF in Malta and the neoliberal growth at the expense of SSF #values. Way forward? Realistic co-management system! #mare17
