Honoured to be joining the next cohort of @ukri.org BBSRC Fellows! Excited to kick off my project asking whether signalling promotes cooperative cleaner-client interactions (with the help of robotic fish 🐟🤖)!

Hugely grateful for all the support, advice, and encouragement that’s helped me get here!

Congratulations to @14katie41.bsky.social and Samuel Fabian, who've been awarded 2025 BBSRC Fellowships!

Katie will focus on mutualistic partnerships in fish and how they are maintained. Sam will focus on insects' aerial chases and what makes them successful 👇

From lots of color to no color at all! Meet the Midnight Angelfish (Centropyge nox). Yes, it's a real fish, and it's common in shallow coral-rich areas of the western Pacific. I photographed this one in Batangas, Philippines. #ichthyology

🚨Excited that the first chapter from my PhD is now out in Marine Biology. Here we show that #lionfish do not show any directional preferences for ambient #soundscapes during diurnal hours.

Crashed my bike the other day because I was distracted by a huge zip tie discarded on the road... now scheming how I can use them in upcoming fieldwork just so I have an excuse to buy some 🥲
