Back to school? At BAS, that's Back to Pre-Deployment Training 💪

Here's the lovely crowd who'll be working at our Antarctic and sub-Antarctic Research Stations over the next summer and winter seasons.

They're all at BAS HQ learning about everything from biosecurity to first aid. Say hello! 👋

Todays highlighted paper is all about #diving with #cephalopods namely #octopus. @journalofthemba.bsky.social

In this paper published on Geo-Bio Interfaces the authors investigated the #oxidation of the Fe(II)-bearing carbonate mineral siderite (FeCO3) by an anoxygenic phototrophic Fe(II) oxidiser Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1. @minersoc.bsky.social

Today I am highlighting a paper on #brittle #stars. These authors describe growth changes of three common eastern Pacific #Ophioderma species. @journalofthemba.bsky.social

New research 📝 💡

Researchers publishing in 'Cambridge Prisms: Plastics' explain that recycling alone won’t solve the plastics crisis as too many toxic chemicals make it unsafe.
