The fsbi is amazing,working tirelessly for its members, fish, fishers and for #FishSci in general. I love being part of the team. I will also say that after an intense meeting discussing 27 different reports and topics, the "After 8 game" really lightened the mood 🤣

So proud of Felix Astejada for defending his MSD thesis today about #cuttlefish beak vs eye lens C and N #isotopes. Big thanks to John Pinnegar and Prof Tom Cameron for being wonderful examiners and to Rui Vieira, Eoin O'Gorman and Vlad for being ace cosupervisors. What a journey!

My first first-author paper is out! Did you know eye lenses grow in layers throughout life? They can reveal movement and foraging ecology. However, here we show not all fish have the same molecular composition in their lenses—especially sharks! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Such a cool study by Jon Kuntz, PhD 🦈 AND stunning visuals too. Anyone interested in #sharks, #isotopes and/or eye #lenses should take a look 👇👇👇

Fantastic day at the BASS AGM showcasing University of Essex & University of Plymouth's research projects in collaboration w/ Cefas & BASS. Genuine pleasure meeting the anglers & learning from them. Also Hannah Rudd gave an amazing talk, just wish we'd been able to see you in person!

Early detection of #PancreaticCancer saves lives. Teif Lab School of Life Sciences, University of Essex are using cutting-edge technology to measure fragments of tumour DNA in the blood. This "liquid biopsy" could provide an accurate & affordable new test for pancreatic cancer: bit.ly/3F3vXF1

#FutureOcean25 was a forward looking and inspiring conference about recovering our oceans, and how science and evidence can be better used/integrated to improve policy and outcomes. Really enjoyed being on a panel with Theresa Marteau Bill Sutherland John Pinnegar +Stuart Green 🪸🐟
