🌊🦑 Remember this one? I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you. As my first time going through this as lead supervisor, it was exciting to see so much interest & strong candidates— truth be told, it was also encouraging to see that the kinds of ideas I’m envisioning are resonating.

@alexnimmosmith.bsky.social and I took the opportunity to trial our novel #plankton imaging prototype for a profile around the L4 site, a long-term marine monitoring station on our doorstep (about 14km off #Plymouth)!

Hello to new followers👋💙 How about looking back to last week to combat #BlueMonday? Setting up my first MRes student for observations in #Plymouth Sound was certainly one of the perks of last week! These will span predators like seabirds, oceanographic features & recreational fishing boats🌊🧪🦑

Strong but super mild southwesterly winds blowing today across south Devon - blowing us into 2025!!! Picture from today's #kitesurf session at Bantham to finish the year 2024. It's been a year of change and I'm looking forward to seeing things develop. Happy new year all! 🌊💨💙 #newyear

What an absolute joy being back in the lab with @alexnimmosmith.bsky.social. As you do, we used our hair to create our first holograms with our new #plankton imaging prototype! Thrilled to be pushing the limits of #sensor technology to capture the pulse of our #ocean, from plankton to predators 🧪🌊🦑🌍
