Thanks to our lovely host Mercedes Villalba MSP, and @gillianamartin.bsky.social Cab Sec. Great to speak with politicians who really value science to inform their decisions! @mastscot.bsky.social Scottish marine science has a long and proud history and it was a privilege to hear about it from you.
We were delighted to host parliamentarians, industry leaders & friends of NOC at our ‘Ocean & Marine Research’ event this week with @mastscot - inspiring discussions on Scotland’s marine science future.
Thanks to all who joined us, see you in Dundee for our #RRS100 celebrations!

It was great to hear more about the government’s plans for English devolution. At @noc.ac.uk we are acting locally in providing exciting opportunities that are of national and international significance. Devolution could unlock even more of that potential for Southampton and wider region.
NOC welcomed @jimmcmahon.co.uk, Minister of State for Local Government and English Devolution in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government as part of a visit to Southampton to discuss the Government's devolution plans in the area.

I must have must fun job in the world. Turn up for work and end up in the midst of a #Lego challenge. Awesome work by the students. The future is bright.
Really fun to help out with the first #LEGO League Challenge today @noc.ac.uk and talk about careers in marine science. Some really impressive work by all the Southampton schools who participated…they even coded in python!! Pictured are also @johsid.bsky.social and @filipa-carvalho.bsky.social #STEM

Could this be as transformational? An exciting prospect.

Sir David Attenborough says it so eloquently. The biggest threat to security and prosperity is the challenge of a changing climate. We need to make sure that message is heard by everyone.
The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity
