This week I attended the @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social conference to present some of the work from my MRes on minke whale foraging ecology - a first in poster format. Congratulations to the award winners and a huge thank you to the committee for the organisation that went into it.

it ended with an inspirational talk by Olivier Leger, an amazing ocean wildlife artist who tells conservation stories through very intricate drawings, like the seagrass sea horse

I really enjoyed #BESAG2025 at ZSL. Very interesting mix of keynote & lightning talks. From the impacts of #climatechange, #cigarettebutts & #petfleatreatments on #aquatic systems, to #biogeochemical and microbial interactions, #carbonsequestration & subterranean invertebrates! all levels covered!
