New paper! 'Integrated management of the raw water transfer invasion pathway'.
This paper shows the incredible scale of the pathway in England and Wales. Pathway stakeholders must support RWT information sharing.

Had fun pulling some invasive pirri-pirri burr along the beautiful Druridge Bay sand dunes for #INNSweek.

Passed my PhD viva yesterday!
Hoping to have some new papers on freshwater invasion pathways coming soon

Can't wait to continue my field work this summer on Macrophyte Attached Zebra Mussels (MAZM). Macrophytes, though often overlooked as a substrate, are capable of supporting dense mussel populations. Featured below: Myriophyllum spicatum (image 1) and Potamogeton robbinsii (image 2).

Yep raw water transfers may have serious implications for freshwater eDNA sampling. If huge water volumes are being moved between separate waterbodies, the likelihood of eDNA transference between sites is very high.

Congratulations 🎉 So much improvement to be made through knowledge sharing! Really interesting to consider the implications of Raw Water Transfer for eDNA sampling, too 🙂
New paper! 'Integrated management of the raw water transfer invasion pathway'.

Was thrilled to be at my first ever @biolinvasions.bsky.social editorial board meeting with so many brilliant researchers.
It's Editorial Board Meeting day for Biological Invasions! Here is a nice photo of many of our wonderful editors from this morning's meeting. Cannot wait to see the rest of our board this evening!

At long last! I submitted my PhD thesis on the raw water transfer invasion pathway today. Feels odd to write a final conclusion to something I've been working on for nearly 4 years!

Made the move to Blue Sky! I'm a freshwater invasive species researcher specialising in pathways of spread. Particularly raw water transfers. Very interested in invasion pathway mechanics and management solutions.
