🚨New Paper🚨

Excited to share my latest @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk PhD research with @strandings.bsky.social which used machine learning to reveal patterns in harbour porpoise pathology, showing how necropsy data can provide population level insights into cetacean health

📢 New paper out!
Cetacean strandings in Scotland have risen 125% over the past 30 years. Our study gives the first comprehensive picture of when, where, and which species strand, providing a baseline to guide conservation.

Efforts to change the PFAS definition appear to be politically rather than scientifically motivated. Please add your signature to the link below if you agree.

Super happy to see our new article on how pharmaceutical pollution can influence salmon migration out in @science.org!

This was a huge effort by a great team of researchers over the last few years!

🐬Analysis of 836 UK-stranded common dolphins found that PCB concentration & sea temperature are linked to increased risk of infectious disease death, highlighting the need for integrated strategies to address these threats @rosiewilliams.bsky.social

🛢️ Oil spills are terrible for the #ocean, but how exactly do they affect marine #wildlife? 🐋

How does oil #pollution impact human health? 🩺

🔍 We find out exactly that and more in our latest blog with research scientist, Dr @rosiewilliams.bsky.social. 1/2

📢New paper!

Why are we seeing an increase in infectious disease cases in UK-stranded common dolphins?🐬☠️

We found sea surface temperature and pollution are both associated with an increased risk of dying from infectious disease.
