Days 1 and 2 of @plymbiolmarsci 1st year field course🌊 Students are getting stuck in learning about rocky shore ecology, and thinking about how to form hypotheses and design experiments to test their ideas. Meanwhile, staff are trying their hardest to soak up the sun! #PlyMBIO

Why is this important? Small fish like #guppies are safest with their mates and far away from hungry predators, but in warmer and more turbid water they end up more isolated 😶‍🌫️& closer to their foes, not ideal! 9/12

Today I got my clinical diagnosis for an “unusual but severe” allergy to bloodworms🪱 It’s a nasty (and inconvenient) allergy that can be developed through frequent exposure, so this is my annual reminder to the fishy community to always wear gloves when handling bloodworms!!
