Hello #Bluesky 👋.

I’m an Ocean enthusiast, dog lover, and mum of one (👦🏻).

Working on marine conservation in Cardigan Bay, bottlenose dolphins, photo-ID, acoustics & diet data, currently hoping to snag some dolphin poop for science!

Excited to connect with fellow ocean lovers! 🌊🐬💙

Trump is aggressively pushing to open millions of acres of the #PacificOcean to #DeepSeaMining.

This mining involves scraping the ocean floor for metals and minerals, creating huge plumes of sediment that smothers nearby ecosystems.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Mark Carney basically explaining that the US under Trump is destabilising the world and that a new world order for trade is being created

Don't Americans understand how much damage Trump is doing to the international world order, and that it'll take years to repair and rebuild relations of trust?

Trump has withdrawn the US from global climate treaties.

Surprise, surprise his lapdogs in Reform want the UK to follow suit.

But the facts won't change: the world is getting hotter, and clean energy was 90% of new power in 2025.

Reform follow Trump; we'll follow the science.
