Talking to Ege Üniversitesi (Türkiye) again today about a future @thefsbi.bsky.social funded grant working on #freshwater #pharmaceuticals and #invasive #fishes.
💊💧🐟🐠

Thank you for having me back.

Guest lecturing for the University of Westminster again this Wednesday on sustainable resource use and environmental hazards #agriculture #aquaculture #fisheries #ecosystems #stressors

Prepping for some #aquatic #ecotoxicity experiments as part of our @ffnplus.bsky.social mini-project 👕✨💧

Sequins are an understudied form of plastic pollution.

I'm very excited to be leading the #ecotoxicity component of this project here at the University of Exeter.

Representing #teamfish again today for the @thefsbi.bsky.social AGM 🐟🦈

I am now here at the University of Exeter as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with @ffnplus.bsky.social, working on the environmental impacts of textiles.

Textiles are a major source of #microfibre and other environmental #pollutants and this project is working with industry to reduce impacts.

For my MSc Freshwater and Marine Ecology at QMUL, with @joostraeymaekers.bsky.social I looked at how #eutrophication impacts #parasite community and population genetics in Belgian Threespine stickleback.

Water quality and parasite diversity metrics were related but genetic signatures were absent.

Since I've been here now for a week, I wanted to introduce myself and my research. Please feel free to add me to any lists/packs.

I'm Ben, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Exeter, and my research focusses on the single and combined effects of aquatic stressors.
