Helping the team with mesocosm dosing experiments this summer.

Native aquatic snails added to mesocosms to investigate the uptake of DOM.

Learning about the experimental setup from James McDonald.

Excited to start my PhD at @bristoluni.bsky.social as part of the @ercrefresh.bsky.social project under Penny Johnes, Dan Read (UKCEH) and Martin Genner!

I'll be exploring how key microorganisms utilise and transform dissolved organic matter. Looking forward to starting with the team next week!
