Do grant proposal texts matter for funding decisions? A field experiment Spoiler alert...NO! #Grants #academia

Anyone know what this is? Washed up on isle of wight beach. Felt biological and not man-made, and when not broken would be spherical. #ukbeach #MarineLife

Have you ever seen a #Coccolithophore outfit before? Designed by talented students at Arts University Plymouth, excited to deliver a costume with a significant educational message. See for yourself at @RoyalSociety's free #SummerScience Exhibition, we're here all week! #RoyalSocietyAtlantis

Happy to celebrate our last few years together at the MBA - to share an office with such an academic gem and a kind soul Laura Branscombe was a dream! Proud to see all your achievements thus far and I know there will be many more to come!!

Today I officially become a faculty member Imperial Life Sciences Georgina Mace Centre for the Living Planet!! Very excited for the next chapter in my career and grateful for the research time I've had. Thanks for all the poo 💩

Last week, I presented our work on krill #carbon storage 🦐 at #SCAR2024 and helped run the UK Polar Network and APECS Uruguay’s ECR workshop 🐧 Pucón was an amazing backdrop, with highlights including meeting the British ambassador to Chile and skiing on an active volcano 🌋

Our paper on the impact that #plastic #microfibres have on formation, sinking & #carbon content of #MarineSnow is finally out in ASLO shorturl.at/3tv8y Work from my U.G with @colinbmunn MarineSciencePlymUni and collab. at MARUM AWI Medien, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology & Bremen Uni 🌊🥳👩‍🎓

A study by Emma Cavan and colleagues shows that #Antarctic #krill are important facilitators of #carbon #sequestration, transferring through their faeces as much carbon to the deep #ocean as is stored in seagrass beds and mangrove forests Imperial College London nature.com/articles/s4146…

New research shows that #Antarctic #krill 🦐 sequester as much carbon through their sinking 💩 as mangroves and seagrass! With climate change and fishing pressures rising, protecting this carbon sink is more urgent than ever #ProtectAntarctica #BlueCarbon nature.com/articles/s4146…

New study from Emma Cavan and colleagues published in Nature Communications shows that #Antarctic #krill play a vital role in carbon cycling, storing similar amounts to key ‘blue carbon’ habitats such as mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrasses. imperial.ac.uk/news/256274/an…
