Fabulous evening with #SophieLewis #WorldCetaceanAlliance, @tommustill.bsky.social & #LukeMcMillan @whalesorg.bsky.social exploring the past, present & HOPEFUL future for humpback whales (and their cousins!). Thanks to Rob Hutchins (@oceanographicmag.bsky.social) & #Finisterre for hosting

Delighted to support the amazing #PratchayaPhinthong with his #PhuketBiennale2025 installation. Our collaboration took us to meet the Moken people, capture video and audio at degraded inshore and also pristine Surin Island reefs to bring to the installation, and build a restoration reef of hope!

Two great opportunities to join a wonderful team working on the business of marine restoration...

Keeping it cruisy gives reef residents space to hear!

Our latest paper, led by @sharkslikejazz.bsky.social, explores how motorboat noise can be minimised by adopting sensible cruising speeds around coral reefs:

Imagine choosing where to live for centuries when only 2 days old! How do free-swimming coral larvae detect their environment, and how are they wired to choose a suitable home? Find out with this fabulous PhD opportunity with @venky-vnm.bsky.social @bristolbiosci.bsky.social @bristoluni.bsky.social

Huge thanks to #Life'sABeach for enabling our @bristolbiosci.bsky.social 1st Year #BeachClean. >200 students collected >57 kg litter, including lego, shotgun cases and >30 shark/ray egg cases. All data uploaded to @mcsuk.bsky.social & #SharkTrust. Blog here: www.lifesabeach.org/back-with-br...

Some amazing heroes of science celebrated this month in the foyer of our Life Sciences Building @bristolbiosci.bsky.social @bristoluni.bsky.social. Wangarĩ Muta Maathai a particular favourite for building the Green Belt Movement that empowered women across Africa to engage in rewilding.

Inspired by this fresh perspective. Thanks @wanderinggaia.bsky.social for showcasing the best of migration, albeit often driven by the brutality of climate change. Loved your BBC Radical podcast with #AmolRajan: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Thanks to #BearingFruit for the invitation to speak at the #SidmouthScienceFestival. Programme also included #MyOctopusTeacher screening and #TomMustill's "How to be a Whale". Heartening discussions on the legacy of #DrJaneGoodall and the importance of sharing #OceanOptimism to inspire #ActiveHope

Delighted to welcome our Y1 undergrads to the Uni of Bristol School of Biological Sciences. On retreat this week they forged new friendships over 22 activities, incl. pond dipping, woodland surveys, bat walks, and a mega Life’sABeach / Marine Conservation Society beachclean, removing 57kg of litter!
