Had an incredible time at #SETACVienna this past week. So much impactful toxicological work going on! Being a volunteer meant I could aid all the hard work of SETAC staff. Getting to know and spend time with volunteers, SETAC staff, and ECORISC students during the week made my time even more special

Great week with the @fieldstudiesc.bsky.social team at Dale Fort supporting their Marine Science Camp. Students spent time learning about seabirds, rockpools, plankton and even let me ramble on about coral reefs. Thank you @thembauk.bsky.social for giving me this opportunity. Anemones are so cool!

Lucky to have such a supportive and friendly group at Lancaster University as part of ECORISC CDT.

Tonight we had our Christmas meal. I thought Christmas jumpers were a necessity?!

Had the pleasure of attending Reef Conservation UK at ZSL London last weekend for my first ever conference.

Brilliant work being done by people up and down the country. Met so many cool people who had as much interest in my project as I did theirs. Penguin tea breaks weren’t too bad either 🐧
