Iโ€™m presenting highlights from the Sailing Scientists project at #SETACPortland! Iโ€™m at poster 116 today and looking forwards to chatting about #waterquality and #scicomm!

Cheers to all the #pintofscience peeps this year! I hope you enjoy pouring your pints (of beers & knowledge) as much as I did!

If you're lucky, there may be a few tickets left! https://
