Yesterday was the weekly meeting with my PhD student @itziarburgues.bsky.social and I was brave enough to announce that I would have lots of time until New Year's Eve to read all chapters of her PhD thesis so she can submit it by the end of this year/ early next year. 1/n

Back to keep writing and polishing the result section of my PhD dissertarion on the topic of Sponge Detritus production in the Mediterranean Sea.

Missing the Sponge Conference @wscommunity.bsky.social , happening this week!!
But hopefully to be able to share more research in the future!

What to check how marine sponges contract and move??
Footage captures with a DIY Raspberry Pi cameras!
Studying these hidden rhythms in the sponge Aplysina aerophoba is one of the objectives of the project proposal just submitted!

After few weeks of writing and polishing, I have just submitted my research grant application for the British Ecological Society Small Research Grant. #BES

Whatever the outcome, this process has been an incredible learning journey in putting my research vision into words.
