Two fish as seen through a circular aquarium window.

Ended #ITRS25 with two fish watching me eat so I'd say it was quite a success.

My talk - me standing at a podium in front of slides showing indicator species

Some of my important academic role models in one room! Four people standing together smiling.

The closing ceremony. Many people sitting in a big room watching someone talk on the podium.

ITRS 2025 ✅ 🌊 This week has been one of the best of my entire PhD. I met so many fantastic scientists doing meaningful work—and managed some well-needed exploring after sitting at a desk for so long. All my academic role models in one room? Amazing.

Presented some of the work we've been doing @plymuni.bsky.social for the @aquaplan.bsky.social project at #ITRS25!

Strongly recommend you go see Dina’s talk if you’re at #ITRS25. And if you’re looking to recruit a postdoc in the near future I also suggest that snapping her up would be a low regret strategy…

I’m at the International Temperate Reef Symposium in France this week! My first ever international conference and biggest conference of my career so far! I’ll be presenting my work on Friday. If anyone is around, come find me!! 🌊 🧬 #ITRS25

Map of Europe showing combination of light and noise pollution along the coasts

Maps of Europe at night showing light pollution in the coast and graph showing depth reached by different wavelengths including blue and green.

Figures showing difference in fish assemblages at marinas with and without artificial structures.

Three images showing different types of tiles/structures that increase biodiversity on seawalls.

First official day of #ITRS25. Heard some great talks on light pollution and eco-engineering, including some from my colleagues at @aquaplan.bsky.social!

Meet me and my supervisor, Nova, at #ITRS25 this week! Chatting all things rocky shores and eDNA 🧬 🌊
