Awesome postdoc opportunity, in a great lab

SO. MUCH. ALGAE! So interesting to see how Living Seawalls, initially designed for Sudney Harbour, perform at different locations!

Check out the latest Living Seawall, in Ireland, thanks to Louise Firth and her amazing team! Can't wait to see what moves in!

It's looking great! Congratulations Plymouth crew!

Artificial lights can reverse shading effects from overwater structures, but their success depends on the environment 💡

In low-turbidity areas, low-intensity light mimics natural conditions, while high-intensity light promotes algal growth 🌱 🧪 🌎

Fieldwork Friday!👌
Our team has been busy these past couple weeks surveying the biodiversity and vertical zonation patterns on our oldest Living Seawall. Big thanks to Aliah Banchik who joined us out in the field on Wednesday and took some great photos for us!

The value of field research in academia From anthropology to zoology, immersion within communities, cultural settings, and study systems is integral to research and learning (1, 2). Fieldwork, the direct observation and collection of data i...

Strongly agree with this letter in Science arguing that field-based research should be more highly and fairly valued in academia. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hi all, nice to see so many of you on here! Here is our crew in the field; look forward to hearing what everyone is up to!
