I'm very late to the BlueSky party but thought a new job was the time to start! I'll be posting research, events and opportunities around #microplastics #multistressors #pollution #contaminants #PFAS #aquaticecology and more!

UKRI announces winners of £120 million Future Leaders Fellowships Research into the causes of lung cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are among 77 projects to be funded by UKRI’s Future Leaders Fellowships.

Alice’s fellowship, MICROMIX, will transform marine #microplastics & #multistressors research—using experiments, archives & modelling to reveal ecosystem-wide impacts. She starts in November—welcome Alice!

Science in action on the Mini- West Coast Ocean Acidification cruise! Sampling in an intense hypoxic event off Oregon shelf to look at depth specific responses of species and whole communities. Awesome last minute collaboration with NOAA PMEL + NWFSC & OSU CIMERS #eDNA #hypoxia #multistressors 🧬🧪🌊

We found no effect of these #multistressors on any measure of feeding motivation. But we did find a strong effect of #animalpersonality variation, which was unlikely explained by body size or sex.
