Facebook has just reminded me that today was my 5 year anniversary as Plymouth Marine Lab Director of Science! It's been a thoroughly enjoyable adventure so far, but where the heck did that time go? 🤔

The ocean is our planet's greatest #CarbonSink, absorbing about 25% of global #CO2 #emissions. But this has come at a cost. Stark words below👇 from Prof Widdicombe who will be speaking on the major threat of #OceanAcidification at Economist Impact's #WorldOceanSummit next week🧵
