Thank you so much to @bps-algae.bsky.social for funding me to attend this conference! ๏ฟผ๐ซถ
ITRS 2025 was amazing! Great to hear about all the latest research on temperate reefs and meet some incredible researchers ๐๐ฑ๐
Leaving Brest feeling really motivated and inspired! #ITRS

Recently, I was invited by the @solwayfp.bsky.social to write an article for their Tidelines Magazine. This was an honour and my first time in print, huge thanks to Clair and the team for this opportunity. If you are interested in learning more about my PhD, please read below! ๐
Busy month of fieldwork so far investigating the resilience of intertidal forests ๐โ๏ธ
Working with some incredible teams in Orkney, Portugal, and now Galicia ๐ฑ

On the left an image of a PhD student undertaking fieldwork on a rocky shore in Portugal, part of the international fieldwork opportunities within this project. The rest of the image lists supervisors, affiliations, and the application deadline (available through link in post).
Re-upping this PhD opportunity in marine ecology, applying a trait-based approach to seaweed carbon dynamics. Includes exciting opportunities for international fieldwork and open to applicants worldwide tinyurl.com/bdhs3aac
New pre-print on heterogeneity- stability relationship led by @jsola.bsky.social: Using a long-term #RockyShore experiment we show substrate heterogeneity promotes stability via biodiversity and asynchrony, but simultaneously inhibits stabilising dominants. www.authorea.com/users/795647...
*PhD opportunity*: Iโll shortly be advertising a project linking seaweed traits to blue carbon in the context of climate change. Please contact me via email (j.n.griffin at swansea. ac. uk) if potentially interested. More details to follow.

Great to get onto the shore to check out the field experiments just a few km from our campus, with @rubygeorge.bsky.social and new PhD student Abrar Shakil.
Our group of intrepid marine ecologists at Swansea University investigates the causes and consequences of biodiversity in coastal systems.
