It's not every day that one gets to publish a paper with their Dad. Here it is! If you're interested in #Seabirds and community engagement, have a read. In this paper, we discuss how Newfoundlanders perceive hunting regulations. #Conservation #MarineEcology

Protecting seabirds from interactions with drones when doing wildlife surveys is important! As part of this we have been trialing propeller guards for our M350 airframe.

Imagine #spying on #Seabirds from the skies with ultra high resolution from a distance well away from cliff faces. No disturbance, minimal risk of interaction with flying birds, and reproducible data! That's what we're doing right now with our new #UAVs! #Conservation #Drones #Scotland #SPAs

We're having the most fantastic time doing #UAV surveys for cliff nesting #Seabirds with our new #M350 drone. The images are incredible... Stay tuned for some amazing high resolution images.

An early morning flight to Ushuaia leads to some whacky thoughts... in this edition of #PlanesGettingEatenByJetways we've got an Aerolineas argentinas 737...

One part of coming to #Antarctica is waiting in airports! Currently waiting for my partner in crime, Bertrand Charry to join me at Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires. Tomorrow morning we catch a flight to Ushuaia, Arg to get on board the Greg Mortimer for ten days.

So it begins... Follow along as I head off from Inverness, Scotland to the #Antarctic peninsula where I'll be once again counting #Penguins for Oceanites! First, a wee hop to London Heathrow before my long haul to Buenos Aires

This is all too true... Ultimately the root of all of these problems stem from malicious or uncaring humans... It's incredibly difficult to not lose hope. #darkdays #climatechange #ecogrief #climateanxiety

This post is for my straight-presenting, #Bisexual friends out there - I see you! Being asked "Are you really Bi if you're married to someone of the opposite gender" is wildly infuriating... #LoveIsLove everyone xxx Stay #queer out there!

When I was exploring my identity, this book was incredibly fascinating as it questions the standard narrative around #evolutionary #psychology in terms of relationship structures. Even if you don't connect with all of the messaging, there is some fascinating stuff here. #polyamory

#Ecologists suffer from a burden of knowledge unlike that of most careers... Not only are we often underpaid, but we are also forced to watch the things we most care about be destroyed by apathetic or malicious humans who live blissfully ignorant to the importance of the natural world.... #ecogrief

#polyamory is so much more than a lifestyle. It's an identity that requires love, honesty and communication with yourself and those around you. It can come in an infinite number of forms. Let's hope for acceptance as we enter a new age of understanding of relationships and family structures.

#GrantsHat at Halifax Stansted airport after a great week at marine renewables Canada. Made some new contacts and learned a bunch about where Canada is heading in the offshore wind sector.

Well... Looks like the X-odus has taken off in full force! Here I aim to talk about #penguins #polyamory and #pizza. Probably a bunch of #seabird #science as well!
