Crushed it! A huge well done, Chris🤝

Who'd have thought my shorts, my Mum, and I would help Ivo Graham christen the Piece tonight. Thanks for a cracking (and surreal) night #CambridgeComedyGarden

Well, 4 yrs as a JRF Christ's College, Marine Behavioural Ecology & Dept of Zoology are over... it's been an absolute blast! Huge thanks to all the brilliant & friendly people I've met along the way! But, excited to now start my next adventure as a postdoc with Rob Heathcote Oxford Biology!

At the end of August I finished my position as research assistant for the Marine Behavioural Ecology group at Cambridge University. From MPhil student to research assistant it has been an amazing 3 years working with James Herbert-Read and the lab group. Thank you for EVERYTHING! 🐠🐟🐡

WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!

🚨Our new paper is out now in Biological Invasions. Using a #citizenscience approach we find correlations between #invasive #lionfish abundance, the length of time invaded, and human #hunting pressure in the western #Atlantic and #Caribbean Sea. doi.org/10.1007/s10530…

The sun did briefly shine in Cambridge today on my last day in Dept of Zoology. It has been a monumental 5.5 years here, both professionally and personally. Words can't express my gratitude towards both the Department and the Marine Behavioural Ecology group for making me feel so at home 🐠

And a new chapter begins! I'm thrilled to have started a PDRA role at Oxford Biology with Rob Heathcote. Stay tuned for more fish content 🐟
