Happy Monday morning! Today, @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social 1st year #PLYMBIO students get to have a fantastic guest lecture with Dr Paul Naylor, author of 'Great British Marine Animals' and award winning underwater photographer. Definitely a great start to the teaching week! 🦀🐙🦑🐚🐡🐠🦈🐟🦞🐬

Landscapes and flowers..

Marine themed paintings...

Before Christmas and during the holiday break, I started to work really give watercolour painting a go. It's still early days in this very challenging medium, but creative mindfulness is good medicine for the mind and soul after stressful days at work.

I have some really great students who are so very kind and thoughtful. One of my #FoundationYear students made me a personalised Xmas card as I've been one of her #Biology lecturers, helped her settle her in to the course, and because I always wear cool biology shirts. I absolutely LOVE it!! 😍🎄😍🎅😍

Tomorrow I give my annual 'Social Media for Scientists' lecture to postgrads. I'll definitely be encouraging them to get on #Bluesky. Keep a look out for #PlymPostGrad in the near future!

Hello BlueSky! This is my first official post here. :-)

I'm looking for like-minded folk to follow and interact with as I jump ship from X. I'm a lecturer in marine ecology at Uni of Plymouth, UK. Into innovative teaching, seagrass ecosystems, marine biology (of all flavours), and being kind.
